M.Arch. (Landscape Architecture) at Ganga Institute Of Architecture & Town Planning, Jhajjar, Haryana

Ganga Institute of Architecture & Town Planning offers a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) in Landscape Architecture. It is a two‑year full‑time programme divided into four semesters. I find that the programme builds knowledge and skills, about the built environment, Landscape Architecture, plants, environmental concerns and sustainable design. The institute says the programme also looks at climate change and environmental degradation. Landscape Architecture is the core of this learning journey.

The M.Arch. (Landscape Architecture) curriculum covers different areas of landscape architecture. Students study subjects such as plant systematic and plant processes, geology and soils, hydrology and geomorphology, site planning and landscape engineering, ecology, theory of landscape architecture, plant and design, remote sensing, GIS, landscape resources and landscape conservation. The programme also includes landscape architecture studios, which continue throughout the course with increasing levels of complexity.

The course includes professional training under a landscape architect or as a research associate with a landscape faculty. The programme also includes a dissertation and a final landscape architecture studio with a thesis. According to the institute, students can pursue areas of interest through electives and the programme includes environmental and management studios covering plants, ecology, site planning, development processes, water resources, planting design and environmental impact assessment.
