Noah's Landscape Journal

Welcome to my MLA Blog This blog documents my weekly learning journey as part of the Master of Landscape Architecture (Year 1) at the University of Greenwich. It serves as a reflective space where I collect notes, thoughts, and visual material from the courses Landscape Design Technology and Design Experimentation & Communication.
