Programme Description

In the current global scenario, where finite resources, various species, and distinct cultures are at risk, landscape architecture plays a vital role in fostering a sustainable future. This multidisciplinary field combines principles from architecture, plastic arts, urban planning, conservation, and ecology to support design strategies for our diverse built environments. The Career Discovery in Landscape Architecture (CDLA) program seeks to explore the critical aspects of this discipline through a unique experiential learning approach, unpacking its potential and significant role for our ever-changing societies.
