Project 1: Experiential Landscape
20% Group Work
Presentation: 8th September 2014 (Week 6)
Introduction
Landscape architecture is designated to integrate people with the outdoor environment in a way to
make people appreciate nature. It involves all aspects of the outdoor environment from the design of
intimate gardens to the planning and management of land areas. People use this space most of the
time; when they leave a building, they will have to pass by an open space to reach next destination.
Public open space is considered as a park that acts as a getaway for city residents to escape from the
hustle and bustle of city life. A park should provide a natural setting, or so called ‘pleasure gardens’.
“Place making is both an overarching idea and a hands-on tool for improving a neighborhood, city or
region. It has the potential to be one of the most transformative ideas of this century”.
