Profile
Landscape Architecture is a discipline that focuses on intervention in the landscape through the activities of planning, design, and management. It also focuses on the science that underpins these activities and the implementation of proposals. It is united around the concept of landscape, which is defined in various ways but is generally understood to mean outdoor spaces, environments and places and relationships between people and these spaces, environments, and places, both in terms of activities and perceptions. Landscape Architecture is concerned with landscapes of all types, both urban and rural, and at all scales from the smallest open space to the region.The curriculum builds on the level of achievement expected at bachelor level with in-depth studies of a range of more specialized subjects covering both practical and theoretical fields, including ones which have special aspects suitable for study in Estonia.In the programme, we use a mix of individual study and group project work. Teaching modes range from formal lectures and seminars or field trips to tuition on studio-based design projects, opportunities for research range from library-based research to field work. Assessment methods include writing examination papers, essays, and reports, but also hand-drawn or digital graphic-based plans and images. We consider open, public presentation and criticism of design projects important. We discuss realistic planning, design or management problems, which form the basis of the project work. A relatively large proportion of the curriculum is dedicated to design studios, field visits, and research.Chair professor of our landscape architecture study programs is Simon Bell. The students become professional landscape architects recognized both in Estonia and internationally.The programme equips students with appropriate knowledge and understanding in the following areas:the physical and natural systems and processes and the complex range of social, economic and cultural factors that interact together to shape the landscapethe theories and concepts underlying the practice of landscape architecturethe range of techniques and materials used in landscape architecturethe professional, legal, the institutional and administrative context in which landscape architecture is practiced, including, where appropriate, contract law and landscape specificationthe social, cultural and environmental values and ethical issues relevant to practice as a landscape architect, with particular emphasis on the role of sustainabilitythe interface between the different areas of the landscape profession and between landscape architecture and other professionsThe programme also equips students with the advanced skills that are essential to prepare for study and critical and reflective practice in landscape architecture. Skills include:to interpret or develop a brief, through research, analysis, and explorationto identify, analyze, synthesize and apply appropriate data and information to support the development of solutions through designto generate, develop and evaluate creative, innovative and appropriate design solutions and proposalsto employ a range of relevant techniques and materials to specify and implement creative designsto conduct most aspects of the professional practice of landscape architecture
