Channels Landscape Design Workshop

MA Landscape Architecture and MA Garden Design students were invited by the JTP Architects from London to attend a landscape design workshop and contribute to the design strategies for the Channels Housing Development and Country Park in Chelmsford. The workshop aimed at creating a new vision to link social and ecological aspects of the environment for a strong community and ecological infrastructure. Students worked with architects, planners, landscape architects and ecologists in a 3 hours workshop to create a sustainable landscape development strategy.

The  workshop visited the site and learned about the landscape.

Each group worked within a team to plan a specific area. Our students had the opportunity to present their group's proposal and explained their vision for the future landscape strategy.

MA Landscape Architecture students Oliver Bond and Kieran Linale are presenting their proposal to the group.

The workshop has been a great start of the collaborative work between WUC MA Landscape Architecture Programme and JTP Architects and there will be another workshop opportunity at our university in the near future.
