COURSE DEFINITION	Thid course is a theoretical and practical design course to introduce the basic elements and design principles of the profession of landscape architecture via lectures and design exercises. This course aims to assist the students of architecture to comprehend the basic principles of landscape architecture, to learn the social and physical components of the profession and eventually, to integrate them into their design projects. The course explores design methods for harmonious relationships between built structures and open spaces- surrounding natural environments. The course discusses the design based architectural qualities of spatial demands of open space and outdoor activities. The course emphasizes the importance of the continuity of spatial organizations, functional sequences from indoor to outdoors within their relative scales. It also introduces natural and man-made landscape materials with their usage capacities.
