Landscape architecture is the technique of organizing lands more comfortably, economically, and beautifully to cope with various social demands. It is a technique of creating space and is characterized by scientifically reasonable as well as artistic demands. The important function of landscape architecture is to create a human living condition dominated by the natural beauty of a territory, and to conserve spaces in order to make daily life more beautiful, plentiful, and delightful.
Department of Landscape ArchitectureUrbanization and industrialization have caused severe environmental problems to the air, soil, and water. Thus, restoration of the environment, conservation of natural resources, improvement of the visual environment, and protection of ecosystems are urgently needed these days. Professional landscape architects are needed to understand and solve these environmental problems, and to make and manage a delightful, functional, and aesthetic environment. Studying landscape architecture has played a significant role in turning large-scale wetland projects, forest landscape in gardens, urban parks, and other various landscapes from daily living spaces to traditional landscape spaces. The educational aim is to train innovative professionals to experience logical planning, design, construction, and management. One of the educational aims is also to improve the quality of the environment through producing harmony between the natural environment and the artificial environment.
