Design Pedagogies for the Planetary Student in Landscape Architecture
Design Pedagogies for the Planetary Student in Landscape Architecture
The Exhibition “Design Pedagogies for the Planetary Student in Landscape Architecture,” at Harvard GSD, imagined the near-future landscape architecture student’s expansive practice. Rosalea Monacella and the exhibition team tracked historic trends in design education and how they might influence future practices, surfacing feminist design schools and ecofeminst methods. The Planetary Student “will embody a pluriversal approach to their discipline, recognising the Earth consists not of a single world, but of many worlds in dynamic relation. These students will be skilled in navigating multiple knowledge systems.” Rather than a sharp division between education and practice, the planetary student continues to explore and learn through their practice, fusing diverse methodologies, ethics, and frameworks. Just as there are many ways of learning, there are endless possibilities for regarding the Earth that the Planetary Student embodies.
