Celebrating 50 Years of Landscape Architecture at Leeds Beckett University

Edwin Knighton Lecturer, Leeds Beckett University 1988 – 2017 Head of Landscape Architecture I moved into landscape architecture education following several years practicing in the public, private and voluntary sectors, specialising in urban landscape projects with community participation and design innovation at its heart. I’m passionate about design quality and its visual communication.

I also place great value on the importance of international perspectives to nurture and enrich students’ education and have organised many international exchanges and study visits. Images above show Jardin des Foudres, Jardin Botanique and the Miroir d’eau from recent student study visits to Bordeaux.
