Design is a process that begins in an individual�s mind and finally results in a physical product. This process functions in different ways based on the initially defined design problem, in other words, the solution expected of the designer and designer�s approach, perception, creativity, and perspective. Thus, design is a problem that has infinite number of solutions depending on the designer, making it difficult for students of design to learn and comprehend it in education because it is not possible to talk about one single truth in design. This fact applies to landscape architecture education, like other design disciplines. Thus, landscape design education uses methods and techniques different from other disciplines of design. In this study, the studio work of the landscape design training of the students in Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) Landscape Architecture Department was assessed. This studio work is also important as it is the first of a series of Environmental Design Project (EDP) courses that the students are required to take for six semesters on different subjects. The results show that the eight students� projects in the study group fulfilled the course learning outputs determined at the beginning of the lesson.

Keywords: Landscape architecture, landscape design process, landscape design, design education, design studio.

Tasar�m insan�n zihninde ba�layan ve �r�nle sonu�lanan bir s�re�tir. Bu s�re� ba�lang��ta belirlenen bir tasar�m problemine yani tasar�mc�dan beklenen ��z�me ve tasar�mc�n�n konuya yakla��m�, alg�s�, yarat�c�l�� ve bak�� a��s�na g�re farkl� �ekillerde sonu�lan�r. Bu nedenle tasar�m, tasarlayan ki�iye ba�l� olarak sonsuz say�da ��z�m� olan bir problemdir. Bu durum e�itimde tasar�m�n ��renciler taraf�ndan ��renilmesi ve kavranmas�n� da zorla�t�rmaktad�r. ��nk� tasar�mda tek bir do�rudan s�z etmek m�mk�n de�ildir. B�t�n tasar�m disiplinlerinde oldu�u gibi peyzaj mimarl�� e�itiminde de durum ayn�d�r. Dolay�s�yla peyzaj tasar�m� e�itiminde de farkl� y�ntem ve teknikler uygulanmaktad�r. Bu �al��mada Karadeniz Teknik �niversitesi (KT�) Peyzaj Mimarl�� B�l�m�ndeki ��rencilerin peyzaj tasar�m� e�itimindeki bir st�dyo �al��mas� �zerinden de�erlendirme yap�lm��t�r. B�l�m ��rencilerinin mezun olana kadar alt� d�nem farkl� konularla almak zorunda olduklar� �evre Tasar�m Proje (�TP) dersinin birincisi olan bu st�dyo �al��mas� ilk proje dersi olmas� a��s�ndan da �nemlidir. Sonu�ta s�n�ftaki bir �al��ma grubundaki ��rencilerin ortaya koydu�u 8 projenin dersin ba�lang�c�nda belirlenen ders ��renme ��kt�lar�na g�re ba�ar�l� oldu�u g�r�lm��t�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Peyzaj mimarl��, peyzaj tasar�m s�reci, peyzaj tasar�m�, tasar�m e�itimi, tasar�m st�dyosu.
