Studio - Advanced plant design

Studio - Avancerad växtgestaltning
In this course, we deepen the design with plants, ie design of different environments where plants play a particularly important role. During the course’s various assignments and seminars, we discuss design for different expressions and functions with focus on plant selection, plant location, dynamics over the years, plant qualities and plant sizes. Several professional consultants participate as guest lecturers and supervisors.

During the course, we work with case studies at different scales, from the details of a pocket park to more large-scale expressions in the street environment.

The knowledge of trees and shrubs is deepened through literature studies. Perennials and bulbs are given extra space.
