Subject Description

This is a studio-based subject dealing with the formulation of strategies that review the care of the broader landscape. Whole areas (scenic catchments, townships, landscape units) will be used as a basis for assessment from multiple viewpoints including the scenic, cultural and environmental where competing values are expected. Various established techniques of landscape planning will be introduced and compared through analysis, forming the theoretical basis for the formulation of strategies for use, care and management of the public and private domain. The various applicable statutory and policy frameworks will also be introduced as a basis for defining work outcomes and appropriate methods of communication. Where possible, links will be made to GIS applications. Part of the work will be carried out in teams with an emphasis on group decision making processes and the presentation of findings/proposals.

Assessment

Written and graphic assignments equivalent to not more than 6000 words.
