The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide the students with a general knowledge on types of human needs and requirements, types of user activities and activity equipment at outdoor spaces, and to help them to use their knowledge to design (create) land forms for different human activit
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : change and design topography of an area based on a design concept and user activities1,2,7,8,9,10,11,12,134
LO - 2 : define what the human needs for a particular outdoor activity are and to design activity areas with its equipment based on this knowledge.1,2,7,9,10,11,12,134
LO - 3 : design multi-functional outdoor spaces. 1,2,7,10,11,12,135
LO - 4 : construct and develop a non-existing (fictional) land form depending on its functions.1,2,7,10,12,135
