This module will allow students to follow up and deepen their understanding of GI, nature based solutions and landscape planning gained in semester 1. Students will work on a project for which they will write the brief. Students may work in groups or individually, but where the work is predominantly group work a clear individual contribution must be shown. Students will present their work at key stages for review during the semester.
Outline Of Syllabus
