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. Each entry combines key aspects of the lectures with my own reflections, sketches, and examples from practice. The aim is not only to record what was taught, but also to explore how these ideas can be applied in design processes and future landscape projects.
