Purpose of
drawings
Everyone loves the big idea, but now it's down to
designing specifically how that idea will work.
Instead of just a green roof, it's the exact details of how it will look, function and
also how the surrounding factors would influence it. Not only that, but many
projects require a series of drawing as part of a whole master plan or site plan.

operate as representations of space.
Landscape is not a concrete definition, but a strong foundation that is a flexible
idea encouraging you to explore and define through your own unique pursuits.
The studio focuses on the process of critical making and exploring the dynamic,
spatial, and environmental elements specific to the medium of landscape
architecture.
