Abstract
The author has described in this article a modification of the building materials module of the Landscape Architecture course, taught in the Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology (FA-CUT), Kraków, Poland. The primary motivation behind the changes was the decline in the quality of student projects. Students repeated the solutions from books and projects prepared by older students. There was a lack of creativity in design and a lack of understanding of the technologies. The change described in this article was based on introducing project realisation as a stage in the teaching. Students were obligated to build the structures they had designed, to a scale of 1:1. The objective was to move from theoretical to practical teaching. The change provoked students to a more creative approach to designing structures and new means of expression. It also allowed them to develop skills other than those gained by working with a computer.
