Landscape Talk –
Mischa Laugs
Writtle MA Landscape Architecture alumnus Mischa Laugs, who
is practicing landscape architecture at Utrecht City Council, gave a talk to
our Landscape Architecture and Garden Design students about the latest urban
and landscape design projects in Utrecht, Netherlands.
During his remote talk to students online and in the studio
Mischa showed projects from urban regeneration schemes, urban public spaces,
and climate responsive design strategies.

Bloom the Tree
‘Bloom the tree’, a community art project created by
Landscape and Garden Design student Jiyeon Park, as part of the
cross-disciplinary module.
The arrangement was displayed in WUC’s Garden Room
restaurant, and students and staff were invited to add petals to the branches.
Over 30 petals were added to the display, which were all made from discarded
drinking cups found on campus.
The aim of the project was to raise awareness about the use
of disposable plastic, and to promote the use of reusable tumblers (following
on from the Students’ Union campaign) for the health of the environment and
community wellbeing.

It was fantastic exploring #OneWorldGarden, close to Writtle
University College, which was designed to celebrate the centenary of the
Scouting movement in 2007. It was very inspiring to see the construction
details in making this small jewel in Hylands Estate.
‘Its inspiration comes from the ideals of the Arts and Craft
movement, with the emphasis on the use of traditional skills, materials and
design.’
