Blog Blurb


a matter of urban light is a design blog with the aim of exhibiting truly inspirational projects in landscape architecture and lighting within the urban environment. This blog will be created in tangent with my third year study of landscape architecture at Kingston University in London with the aim of hopefully moving into a career based on lighting in landscape architecture and the built environment.


i Hope the Blog is useful and interesting.

Merrist Wood




Something I had not released was that Kingston University is linked somehow with Merrist Wood College in Guildford which specialises in horticultural and farming courses. Merrist Wood college kindly set up through Kingston University a day of teaching Kingston Uni Landscape Architecture students some basic methods in horticultural, plantsmanship and basic landscape maintenance. The tutors at Merrist wood also helped us understand about picking the perfect healthy tree and what to look out for when specifying trees for our future projects. This is something unfortunately Kingston Uni does not teach as it is a very designed based course and even though the Merrist wood day was very basic it was very rewarding to get of the computer away from Auto CAD and Photoshop, and learn about something much more practical.
