Theory & Discourse

Sandeep Patil reflects on some of the significant aspects of landscape education in the country including, a need for robust and dynamic studios based on critical thinking and insightful reflections rather than problem solving exercise and well thought out frameworks for various studies to take forward these objectives.

Indian landscape education has three handicaps: limiting eligibility to architects
in most programs, prejudicing the dialogue in a spatial construct; offering postgraduate
degrees, thus carrying the burden of teaching fundamental as well
as advanced knowledge; and lastly mimicking a professional studio environment,
thereby restricting the thought process to established methods. The first handicap
requires a dialogue in another forum, but one can attempt to address the remaining
two, empowering future landscape professionals with tools for interpreting and
thinking, beyond mundane problem solving.
Charles Correa, in his seminal essay ‘Learning from Eklavya’, questions whether
design can be taught, or only learnt through osmosis. He also remarks that
encouraging independent judgement while maintaining faith in the learning
experience, is difficult to navigate in design studios. Lastly, he critically inquires
how many students will design in their practicing life? Hence, should studios aim
for objective problem solving or hermeneutic self-learning?
