M. Arch. (Landscape Architecture)

The Landscape Architecture course is divided into four semesters spanning two years and is an amalgamation of the knowledge, understanding, technicalities and the various skills required to make a successful professional.

The first semester focuses on building a strong foundation of the basics to kick start the process while the second semester lays emphases on the ecological aspects of landscape design and exercises related to the application of ecological principles in a range of situations and directed towards understanding and proposing design possibilities in Urban Open Space systems, Rural Landscape and Heritage & Cultural Landscape. The third semester includes a relatively large scale exercise of analysis and proposals related to Landscape of Institutional Campuses, Urban civic spaces at urban design scale, Transportation and interchange systems & complexes and Eco-Tourism projects. Finally, the last semester of the course requires the students to design a Landscape Architecture thesis that consists of two parts; (a) Research oriented towards establishing a strong theoretical background for the chosen subject and (b) Application to a Landscape Planning or Landscape Design proposal with appropriate details.

Together these four semesters along with the various other subjects contribute to the overall learning and growth of the students as landscape designers.
