Together with LAND 7311 and LAND7313, this course forms an independent, year-long research and design process. 

Students initiate their design proposition in LAND 7311, setting their own design research agenda within the structure of a collective studio project. 

Students identify a theme or issue relevant to contemporary practice which serves as the framework for a design-based research project.

Each student works closely with staff and peers in the studio to develop and test their design propositions. 

In this studio, students consider how metropolitan landscape systems have informed and shaped urban settlement, and vice versa.

In a suite of directed design projects, students are given a future scenario which guides and challenges their design thinking in terms of scale and complexity.

During the course students will develop knowledge of the relationship between landscape systems and urban settlements and extend their abilities to plan and design landscapes as integrated components of city and metropolitan systems.
