LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA

At the University of Pretoria’s Department of Architecture, we place great emphasis on community engagement, well-being and environmental responsibility. Driven by ecosystemic thinking, we prepare our students for responding to the challenges of the 21st century.

As part of this ethos, our landscape architecture programmes focus primarily on designed ecologies. This can be understood as the design of green infrastructure to help combat challenges of biodiversity loss, climate adaptation and food security. Designed ecologies also incorporates human-nature relationships, and the value that design has for bringing people closer to their natural environments.

Each year we welcome students into the Honours, Masters and Research programs in landscape architecture at the Department of Architecture, UP.  

Our programmes are suited to students and professionals with backgrounds in architecture, landscape architecture and design, town and urban planning & design, environmental studies and horticulture.
