The benefits of landscape design for teaching and outdoor recreational activities: case studies and design proposals

Abstract

In the post-pandemic context, when people have developed a heightened awareness of their relationship with their environment, this study addresses the impact of landscaping on school and outdoor recreation activities. By analyzing three relevant case studies from the literature, the paper highlights the benefits of outdoor classrooms and how they can improve student engagement and well-being. In light of these findings, two proposals for the design of the green space of the "Vasile Adamachi" Agricultural College of Food Industry in Iasi were developed. These proposals aim to create an environment conducive to learning and recreation, integrating natural elements and facilities adapted to the needs of students.
