Module E: What is landscape architecture?
Module E
This final module focused on the landscape design process. Active conversations and participation with experts from the field, provided the resources for getting immersed in the landscape discipline. After reflecting on their learning journey, they delved into the discipline and explored design process. Through specialized workshops on bamboo structure and craftmanship, students materialized their ideas and applied their newly acquired skills in the final project. The process culminated in a public exhibition showcasing the work developed.
Final Project – Workshop 7
Bamboo Generation
Bamboo generations worked with the students on the technical aspects of their proposals to make optimal use of the materials and consolidate stable objects and a local artist led a workshop on bamboo weaving. Cindy Tai also lead students learning traditional bamboo weaving step by step.
Talk 5&6

Final Project – Sharing Session
Final Exhibition
One design project is envisioned and developed by the students and instructors during the CDLA. Productive active sessions, discussions and workshops in conjunction with the new skills and concepts from the participants, created unique bamboo installations to be showcased in a final exhibition. Several sessions were destined to gradually consolidate the built final outcome through an interactive and reflective design process.
