Design Pedagogies for the Planetary Student in Landscape Architecture

Design Pedagogies for the Planetary Student in Landscape Architecture

"Future Planetary Landscape Architecture students 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. For example, they will be able to integrate perspectives from diverse epistemologies, scientific forms of ecological systems justifications, and landscape ethics. Their suite of skills is developed as recognition that no single framework can adequately address complex planetary challenges to which the discipline needs to respond ethically.

This exhibition at the Harvard Graduate School of Design maps the historical development of design studio pedagogy and approaches embracing pluriversal knowledge integration, cultural interface pedagogy, relational design practices, critical time consciousness, and collaborative design studio ecologies. By juxtaposing these approaches across the Experiments Wall’s dual surfaces, the exhibition reveals both the evolution of design studio pedagogies to date and the future possibilities."
