Designing Landscape-led SuDS
Landscape Institute masterclass, exploring the opportunities that creative design of rainwater management can bring to landscapes. These include climate resilience, health & well-being, play, wildlife benefits, and the support of on-site BNG delivery.
It will demystify hydraulic engineering to make SuDS more accessible to designers and to enable constructive collaboration with engineers. In addition, it will introduce design approaches that empower landscape architects to direct the design of SuDS and include it as a layer of functionality in their designs.
