About the final project for: Introduction to Landscaping

Introduction to Landscaping

“We have reached the end of the course, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you very much for joining me! Now that you've reached the end, you're more than ready to design spaces with a new vision. As a final project of the course, you must design a playground that allows children to learn about caring for the environment through play. I share with you an example of the steps that I would like to see in your process: Space Choose the space in which you will design your project.

The proposal Prepare the proposal based on the answers to the questions you prepared. Let your ideas flow and feel free to try new things.
Communicate ideas Once you have your idea clear, it's time to share it. Make sure you do it in a way that everyone can understand the things you are proposing. Share your idea and if you see that there are still adjustments to be made, carry them out so that it is better presented.

However, I ask you to be patient because it may take me a while to respond. To make the wait more enjoyable, I invite you to exchange feedback and ideas with the rest of your course classmates. Let's take advantage of the forum that Domestika offers us to see our projects with different eyes. See you in the forum!”
