The Bartlett Autumn Show 2023

The Bartlett Autumn Show showcases the work of the school’s Landscape Architecture MA/MLA programmes alongside work from the school’s Architecture & Historic Urban Environments MA.  Exhibited to a global audience, the show will take place both on and offline, filling the ground floor space of the Bloomsbury campus with a vibrant physical show and accessible across the world in our bespoke digital exhibition space.

The professionally accredited Landscape Architecture MA and MLA programmes at The Bartlett School of Architecture equip students with critical, interdisciplinary knowledge and design skills to work directly at the interface of today’s urgent ecological, infrastructural, and social challenges. Faced with our current climate emergency, these programmes respond to the increasing need to work across built and natural environments. Landscape Architecture students develop skills in research, technical and ecological knowledge, strategic thinking and inventive design. They produce innovative responses to design briefs that support sustainability and deal with real-world challenges, such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and ecological crisis.

Shown here are the seven Landscape Architecture design studios, all staffed by landscape practitioners, architects, urban designers and academics with distinct agendas. The design studio is central to both the Landscape Architecture MA and MLA degree programmes, providing fundamental and specialised knowledge and a strong identity from which students develop and launch their own approach to the contemporary study of landscape architecture. The studios offer a wide array of methodologies, encouraging independent research and imaginative design solutions for addressing critical subjects within a global context. Themes include how we may retrofit our cities in the face of the climate crisis; the use of feral practices to co-create landscapes alongside natural ecosystems and how landscape may interplay with the future of human-built infrastructure to mention just a few. The interests of the seven studios reflect the breadth and depth of Landscape Architecture’s spatial and intellectual focus here at The Bartlett.
