Landscape Architecture at the University of Pretoria

We focus on the relationships between people and nature. This means that as designers, we facilitate rich experiences related to nature, plants and public open space.

We value the diversity of ways that people interact with and enjoy nature, and use architectural design skills to help people access the benefits which nature provides.

We consider the cultural activities and uses that public open spaces support, and seek to make these experiences accessible to everyone.

We integrate horticultural knowledge, architectural technologies, and poetics to create beautiful and resilient places.

We explore unique ways to make exciting and ecologically sound places, including sculpting the earth, designing with plants, co-creating with communities and considering the poetic.
