Integrating experiential learning and landscape architecture to facilitate engagement and awareness of waste landscapes

This thesis examines the potential role that landscape architects can play in increasing awareness of waste practices from experiential learning perspectives. My research question asks, how can landscape architecture facilitate experiential learning in waste landscapes? Facing the great waste challenges around urban areas, people start to realize that waste has become an inevitable part of our lives. For the purpose of increasing understanding of waste and engagement in waste landscapes, landscape architecture design is applied to create an integrated design framework with experiential learning. Following case studies and the literature review, a discussion about the availability of conceptual design approaches will take place.
