The aim of this course is to enable students to identify woody plants (trees and shrubs) in the form of gymnosperms and angiosperms used in landscape architecture, to comprehend their ecological characteristics, and to develop the skills to use them correctly in design and planning processes.
The course covers the role and importance of plant material in landscape architecture, plant nomenclature and terminology, morphological identification features, and key factors guiding plant selection. Trees and shrub species commonly used in landscape architecture are examined in terms of their morphological characteristics, ecological requirements, and uses in landscape applications. The aesthetic, ecological, and functional roles of plants are evaluated in the context of landscape planning and design. In practical sessions, species are identified on live material in field conditions; cataloguing and presentation activities are carried out. Assessment is based on written exams, class participation/performance, and assignments. In-semester evaluation consists of participation/performance, assignments, and a midterm exam totalling 40%. End-of-semester evaluation is based on the final exam (60%). Students retaking the course are required to complete all assignments, participation/performance tasks, and exams as defined in the current assessment structure.
