LAA214 – Project Presentation

We recently presented our project in LAA214 – Residential areas, or as it’s titled in the course description: Buildings and landscape.

In our project we were given the smallest of the ten project sites, and a challenging one at that – a site that didn’t leave too much room for residential development, due to size, existing qualities such as valuable hiking terrain and vegetation, topography, sun conditions et cetera. We chose to focus on a high quality of living, not densifying more than absolutely necessary to meet the demands.

LAA214 – Buildings and Landscape – Part 1

This semester the landscape architecture course focuses on planning a designated residential area. The course projects are technically oriented, which is perfectly timed in my opinion – I’ve been wanting to obtain more practical knowledge in terrain shaping and so forth since the first year, as I didn’t grasp the entirety of it back then, and in this project we use everything we have learned so far.
