Landscape architecture in architectural education

Landscape design is taught at Iraqi architectural colleges at the 4th stage in one semester. Due to the increasing importance of this material and its environmental, ecological, aesthetic and designing impacts on design and in order to reinforce its role in the architectural learning in the undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the architectural departments, the study problem focus on the deficiency of attention paid for this material and the qualification of the graduated architect. Search has been made in both Arabic and foreign universities and institutes to examine the teaching of this material as related to curriculum, teaching hours and units in undergraduate studies to utilize such experiences. The study aims at concluding certain recommendations on qualifying this material as related to curriculum, hours and units that reinforce the undergraduate role in the field within landscape design.
