Landscape design major studies abroad, how to create high-quality landscape design works collection? When applying to the mainstream landscape design colleges in the United Kingdom and the United States, what kind of collection of works can be employed as an admissions officer? What are the application conditions when preparing the portfolio? Today, I would like to analyze how to build a high-quality collection of overseas works of landscape design.

　　 What to learn in landscape architecture:

Main learning: landscape design, landscape architecture, gardens, landscape architecture, gardening, etc. The sustainable and harmonious coexistence of human and nature, the symbiosis and resonance of human society and nature, and the inspiration from the surrounding environment and life are explored for expression. It is a subject that combines natural landscape elements and artificial landscape elements to create a beautiful outdoor living environment for human beings.

　　 Direction of employment:

Most jobs include various planning institutes, architectural design institutes, landscape design companies, engineering consulting companies, real estate companies, planning bureaus, and government management committees.

The work includes landscape design of various municipal parks, squares, residential areas, commercial streets and public spaces; Planning and design of various scenic spots, protected areas, urban green spaces, forest parks and wetland parks; Some urban design related content, some urban planning related content, some rural planning related content, sponge city planning and design, etc.

　　 Creation of high-quality garden landscape design works:

The project proposition is a real public welfare project with long-term cooperation with Xinyun Public Welfare, which will donate a library to a school in a poverty-stricken area in Sichuan every year. The project results will participate in the election of the final implementation plan. Other portfolio projects include water and storm flood management, green roof, mixed material research and physical construction.

Waterfront landscape: the waterfront space of wildlife habitat and human activities is the junction area of different ecosystems, with high ecological diversity. In the project, learn how to deal with the relationship between wildlife and human activities and create a symbiotic and sustainable landscape by understanding the life rules and habitat requirements of wildlife.

　　 Which countries do you choose to study in landscape design?

America: DI magazine will publish the top 20 landscape design colleges in this year's professional rankings every year, such as Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, the University of California Berkeley, the University of Virginia, Washington University, etc., as well as the landscape design MLA schools in the United States, USNEWS There are 22 schools in the top 100 in the comprehensive ranking, but not many. The competition among famous schools is fierce.

Britain: Most of the students who go to Britain to study landscape architecture are motivated by Sheffield University Yes, there are only a few two-year British master's programs with high gold content. In addition, the landscape design of Edinburgh University, Newcastle University, and even AA School is also worth considering.

Most of the students who study landscape design choose to go to Britain and the United States, because the teaching level of these two countries is world-class, the history of landscape design is relatively long, and there are many schools.

In addition, Delft Technology in Europe, Milan Technology in Italy, Melbourne University in Australia, Royal Melbourne University, University of Toronto in Canada, University of British Columbia, etc. are all schools with strong landscape design. Students who like these areas can choose.

　　 Application conditions:

Students with good college background can relax a little, and directly write about document creation, interview guidance and other links; Applicants with poor background need to improve their background. For example, Natural Light Art's interdisciplinary portfolio counseling project, volcanic practice labeled the portfolio "globalization strategy", and then they still need document creation, interview counseling and other links, which should be prepared early.

　　 Language requirements:

Language refers to standardized test, TOEFL or IELTS, and GRE required for applying to North America. Generally speaking, TOEFL and IELTS can be used to apply for studying abroad, but students should decide which to study according to the country they choose and their own actual situation.

Generally speaking, higher English scores are the key for you to enter a famous school. At present, American schools have begun to impose strict restrictions on TOEFL scores. TOEFL 80 or IELTS 6.5 is the minimum requirement for studying abroad, but who doesn't want to go to a better school? Like Harvard? Nothing is impossible.

For example, the top 30 schools in the United States, TOEFL 100+and GRE315+must be standard, and IELTS must be at least 7; English and Australian schools can be equipped with languages, which is another matter; If you are in Japan, you need to reach N2 or above in Japanese, and you'd better add TOEFL scores.

　　 Collection of professional works of landscape architecture:

The collection of professional works of landscape design is required to reflect the current strategic concept of global sustainable development. For the complex local terrain and climate, select environmentally friendly materials that have good adaptability and can meet the design requirements, and develop the most perfect planning design and later maintenance management scheme; This high-quality portfolio project, as a portfolio topic, has social, experimental and conceptual characteristics, which are the most important inspection points of overseas art colleges.

The collection of professional works of landscape design should start from the aspects of nature, terrain, materials, and humanities to obtain the project results in the directions of terrain architecture, humanistic space, experience streamline, ecological sustainability, assembly structure, etc., understand and learn that the natural environment affects the architectural form, experience needs affect the spatial form, and regional materials affect the architectural structure, Humanities and ethnic characteristics to create a space atmosphere and other professional topics. It is reflected in the concentration of your professional works of landscape design to form a whole and innovative value. You can apply for the major of landscape design in Britain, America and Australia.
