| Short description: | Students learn the practical application of plants in the urban landscape. During the classes, each student designs a flower bed (individual work) and a complex design of a public green area (team work). |
| Full description: | The class begins with an individual work in which each student designs a flower bed located in a specific area of the city. The design of the flower bed is to be in the form of a detailed technical drawing that can form part of a larger project. The teamwork consists of a public greenery design for a designated area of the city. The project is to be complete in terms of the content of the documentation required when applying for a building permit. The course includes a site visit to present the needs of the public space user. The lectures introduce the students to the correct design and selection of plant material in various public spaces (street greenery, vegetated roofs, living walls, parks, squares and other public spaces) and private spaces with limited access such as a kindergarten area. The types of planting beds are discussed in detail from a historical perspective, the needs and ways to carry out field analyses for designed greenery, as well as the need to cooperate with representatives of other branches. The problems of designing greenery inside buildings are highlighted |
