Learning Goals
Following the training in theory and design in landscape architecture, there is a course where this knowledge is applied in an objective and practical way. Will be given a large focus on construction techniques and processes defined at the level of project execution.
This course will reveal the interdependence between technology and landscape design. It is intended that the student be able to apply the various techniques (conventional and emerging) of intervention in the landscape, to give rise to a design project with high quality and simultaneous effort at the level of creativity.

Contents
Development a project implementation: general plan; modulation of the ground; planimetric and altimetric plan; floor plan, drainage plan, irrigation plan, planting plans, lighting plan, equipment and furniture, construction details. Descriptive document, specifications, measurements and budgets.
Will emphasize techniques and methods of intervention in the landscape:
- modeling of terrain, volume of land calculations, planimetric and altimetric implementation;
- understanding of local and its context in order to establish a sustainable network of surface and drainage;
- study of building materials (properties, applications, suitability for different situations);
- implementation of the various strat of vegetation (trees, shrubs and herbaceous): selection, distribution and planting of appropriate plant species;
- construction details;
- preparation of a written documents.

Teaching Methods
Will study various types of spaces to a scale that allows reach the level of detail execution project.
Conferences are expected, "workshops" and study trips, where special emphasis will be given to materials, techniques and processes of intervention, processing and construction of the landscape.
Will be encouraged discussion of the functioning and shape of the various systems that draw the landscape and its relation to the changes that the project determines
Assessment based on the development of individual or group projects and oral presentation and discussion of work, as well as in its written report and drawings. It comprises two phases: project design and later the development of the execution project. The final classification is the weighted average of the classifications obtained in each phase: weight 1 in the first phase and weight 2 in phase 4. The skills obtained in the curricular unit cant be evaluated by final examination.
