The science of landscape architecture integrates science and art that encompasses theory and creation to make and cultivate beautiful, useful, and healthy land and environment, the basis of our lives. In a narrow sense, it deals with house gardens, urban plazas, and public parks, and in a broad sense, it covers extensive outdoor spaces including cities and territories in the areas of planning, design, and management.
The Department’s educational goals are to provide education in basic theories, planning, and design by way of lectures and practices to develop the abilities of the students in the areas of research and design in leading the fields of landscape and academia.
The Department concentrates on engineering-based technologies which maintain comfortable conditions in natural and living environments. Those technologies are prepared by analyzing the state of pollution, causes, and mitigation strategies for major environmental problems which are expected to be accelerated further in response to the advance of modern science and industries. Therefore, the Department defines educational goals which foster the students not only to play a leading role in solving the environmental issues, but also to contribute to the preservation and restoration of natural and living environments. This can be achieved based on the understanding of the relationship between human and environmental systems as well as of scientific knowledge and technologies used for the evaluation, planning, improvement, and pollution prevention of those environmental concerns.
