MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE INTRODUCTION “There are no regions in the world other than Africa where urban populations and urbanized areas are growing faster than Asia. Here, new landscapes are constantly being created, and old landscapes are paradoxically also being destroyed. Amidst such dynamism and challenges, we believe that our graduates will be well-placed to shape the landscape and create a healthy environment for people and nature.”

The Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is a two-year, full-time degree programme for individuals seeking advanced and cutting-edge training in landscape architecture. It is for students who have completed BLA or its equivalent in related disciplines (architecture, urban planning, urban design).

The intensive and rigorous course engages students with the following emphasis: Independence and excellence in design. As an advanced course, MLA provides a structured platform for students to pursue areas aligned with their own interests in depth, independent design, and intellectual inquiry.

Research as a foundation for design. Situated in a large research intensive university ranked among the top in Asia and the world, MLA emphasizes the use of research to critically identify and explore socio-ecological issues of the site. Design is envisaged as the bridge between scientific research and landscape changes arising from spatial design. Research skills are honed through Dissertation and other lecture modules and applied to studios.

Interdisciplinary collaboration. Hosted by the Department of Architecture which has a longstanding reputation as the top Asian Architecture School[1] and one of the top ten schools in the world[2], MLA takes advantage of the close partnership with other design disciplines in architecture, urban planning, urban design, and integrated sustainable design through joint studios, cross-discipline electives, and networking guided by a world-class team of academics and practitioners. Our graduates will understand that the most pressing urban challenges cannot be solved by a single discipline but require interdisciplinary collaborations across professional disciplines and key stakeholders.

Developing leadership in practice. Landscape architecture as a professional practice is constantly evolving and the roles of landscape architects are gradually expanding into new frontiers of practice. Our graduates will contribute to critical discourse and shape the practice by providing thought leadership.
