Academia
Attention Teachers and Students!
There is so much to learn in this generalist profession… Sometimes a lifetime of knowledge.
But certain things shouldn’t be so hard. There still needs to be room for the new and important topics in design (like Climate, Equity, Accessibility, Ecology, Parametric Design, etc. AMIRIGHT?!)
So let’s start making room!
Why do I have to learn this?
Two big reasons
Land Kit can help make certain tasks:
Easier to perform key landscape tasks
Easier to understand key landscape concepts
Imagine tasks like grading design, ecological planting, paving documentation, or carbon calculation becoming more intuitive to understand and ultimately integrated with ambitious concepts that students want to explore.
Okay, there are actually more than two reasons to learn how to use these tools.
Rhino and Grasshopper are super hot right now
This is the first day of the rest of your life (Meaning: start learning it now to get the greatest benefit over time; don’t wait).
Who has the time to teach this?
Land Kit Workflows and Campus make learning and teaching these concepts and tools much easier. There might even be more time for hand drawing in your life.
Workflows are incredible plug and play resources that let you immediately explore design in a whole new way. For academics with a technical bent, they can be modified for particular curricula or projects with ease.
Campus and Campus+ are just extensions of school. We want students to grow into understanding how new tools will shape the profession.
Office Hours are in session every week (professors welcome). And we do private tutoring and special workshops.
Rhino Resources are abundant!
And we know literal people around the world who are using Land Kit in the classroom. We hope to share more of these experiences.
Sounds fantastic, how do we start?
Free Workflows
Core Land Kit features and workflows are free and easy to use. Yep. Check them out!
Licensing
Students can always try and use the free features of Land Kit. Even after school.
Academic Lab Licenses are $600 for 30 floating seats a year. Students can use these in the lab and/or on their laptop depending on the situation.
Lab licenses for Pro features are easy to install for IT admins. Setup these two files on each machine:
the land_kit.ghpy (in the Libraries folder of Grasshopper)
the license key in a text file should do the trick:
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Land Kit\key.txt
macOS: /Applications/Land_Kit/key.txt
We will give your school a new (fresh) key each year, if you request it. We see you students.
Teachers can request a free trial semester. We will award trials based on our discretion. To request a trial fill out this form, or email us at infoATlandauDOTdesign.
Existing customers can check their subscription here.
Campus+ Content
Professors with a subscription can share the content from Campus+ in the classroom.
