20.02.26, 10:00, Open class day landscape and garden architecture

A welcome moment will give you an insight into what this programme has to offer. Then the lecturers will guide you to the rooms where you can experience for yourself how all the elements of landscape and garden architecture come together in the design studios. You will meet current students working in groups on an ongoing project. The students are designing the outdoor space of a primary school in Waregem. They take into account the specific school context, the qualities and characteristics of the site and its surroundings. They develop a well-considered design to make the environment more meaningful, greener and more sustainable. You watch and participate in the discussions between teachers and students. This way, you will immediately learn in very concrete terms what to expect from the programme. So come and get a taste of the programme.

You can choose between two sessions on this open class day. Both sessions have the same content.

• 10:00-13:30 Open day session 1
  
• 14:00-17:30 Open day session 2
