Catering for a growing interest in how ecology and the natural forces interact with the built environment, this program aims to introduce how ecological parameters can be implemented in design strategies. Students will participate in workshops and lectures about sustainability, planting design, cultural landscape, and how ecological processes/ operations inspire the design of landscape spaces. There will also be field trips to key landscape projects and professional landscape design offices in Hong Kong.
