Department of Landscaping and Vegetation Technology

The Department of Landscaping and Vegetation Technology teaches vegetation technology, construction and structural engineering in landscape architecture. It is our profound know-how that enables us to create sustainable landscape architecture.

Teaching and Research: Vegetation Technology

In the area of vegetation technology, we are interested in the greening of urban spaces, especially those located off the ground. Our research focuses on plant use, optimization of construction materials, substrates, drainage materials, and cover materials that are resistant to roots.

We also do extensive research on developing the water retention capabilities of green roof systems and physical methods to identify substrates and their qualities.

Teaching and Research: Construction

Our teaching methods are practice-oriented and instruct students on how companies plan and implement construction projects, how costs are determined at the planning levek, and how to calculate competitive costs. Students also learn about legal and formal requirements for procurement, construction projects, economics and law.

Teaching and Research: Construction Technology

We teach students normative requirements for realistic project management, and construction techniques for building streets and public squares and foster a comprehensive knowledge of construction materials. Our students learn about paving, solid construction such as staircase and wall construction, skeleton construction and special types of constructions such as irrigation systems and swimming pools.
