Public Park Design Fundamentals delves into the essential principles and practices of creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable public parks. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that foster creativity and practical skills, culminating in a final project that showcases their ability to design a public park tailored to community needs. The course emphasizes collaboration and innovation, encouraging participants to publish their findings and designs in Cademix Magazine, thereby contributing to the broader conversation on landscape architecture and urban planning.
Throughout the program, learners will explore various aspects of park design, including site analysis, ecological considerations, community engagement, and the integration of recreational amenities. The curriculum is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing park design, enabling participants to develop solutions that enhance public spaces. By the end of the course, attendees will possess a robust portfolio of work that demonstrates their expertise and readiness to tackle real-world challenges in landscape design.
