Abstract

Promoting “learning by doing” through site research has become a core approach in the Landscape Design Studio modules offered in the Masters of Landscape Architecture (MLA) programme at the Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore (NUS). Through an overview of the MLA studio modules conducted at NUS over the past six semesters, this article consolidates the types of tools and platforms used to implement these research activities, highlights the significance of site research as a fundamental step in the landscape design process, and summarises key pedagogical outcomes. Simply stated, incorporating site research in the landscape design studio modules facilitates systemic teaching and learning in the landscape design discipline. (Abstract taken from Introduction)
