Abstract:
“LARP 780: Topics Theory & Design Curious Landscapes” is a new online creative design course offered by the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of Pennsylvania during the pandemic. This paper analyzes the teaching characteristics of the course through the introduction of its organization and content. In response to the problem that the basic education in China is dominated by logical thinking training while the development of perceptual thinking in landscape architecture education is seriously lacking, a number of implications of the course for domestic landscape teaching are proposed. Firstly, strengthen perceptual thinking cultivation in basic design courses. Secondly, set up teaching topics and contents around perceptual thinking training. Thirdly, value site-based experiential teaching tools. Finally, help students turn the results of their experiences into a source of creative design. It can provide reference for site experience teaching of landscape architecture in China.
