Landscape Talks: Lucy White and BDP London Projects

MA Landscape Architecture alumni Lucy White gave our landscape students and staff an inspiring talk about the projects she has been working on at BDP London Office. As a senior landscape architect Lucy is managing a variety of landscape architecture projects from urban design to countryside projects. Students had the opportunity to learn about BDP and their design approach and philosophy as well as design process and representation techniques.

The Gibberd Garden & Norsey Woods student visit

BSc and MA Landscape Architecture & Garden Design students visited The Gibberd Garden, Harlow, which was created by Sir Frederick Gibberd. The garden contains a collection of unique spaces that lead you through the garden, often containing pieces of art. Every route reveals a new story.

Students and staff are listening to the talk about the gardens

In the afternoon they visited Norsey Woods, just outside Billericay, to experience the sea of bluebells and to learn a little about the managed landscape and the techniques that are used to maintain it.

As a WUC #LandscapeArchitecture alumni Paul talked about his journey from being a student at #WUC to a successful practitioner in a leading multi-disciplinary landscape and environmental design practice.

Paul showed a variety of projects from sketch design to the construction process.
