WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
THE PROBLEM OF REPRESENTING CHANGE AND TIME IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
The course adapts drawing or graphic expression to the specific needs of Landscape Architecture as a language and as a tool for development, research and, communication. The course introduces students to the history, techniques, uses and conventions of hand and digital drawing in professional practice through a series of short theoretical classes, exercises and readings.
It begins with the sketch of landscape elements –with simple, monochrome techniques with no way back– to later introduce more complex strategies and representation techniques starting the work on simple temporal factors and the expression of a landscape as a dynamic process.
The first objective of the subject is to provide the student with the daily practice and experimentation of most techniques and types of graphic expression. They acquire the habit and the necessary skill for its later use in recognizing, understanding and expressing the environment, and for the research, development and presentation of their proposals.
