School of Landscape Architecture

The School of Landscape Architecture at Beijing Forestry University (BFU) is the birthplace of modern landscape education in China, which can be traced back to 1951 when the "Gardening Group" was jointly founded by the Department of Horticulture of Beijing Agricultural University and the Department of Construction of Tsinghua University, and in 1956 when the national faculties were adjusted to the Beijing Forestry College (the predecessor of Beijing Forestry University). After the restructuring of the national faculties to Beijing Forestry College (the former Beijing Forestry University) in 1956, it went through the establishment of the Department of Urban and Residential Greening and the Department of Landscape Architecture, and at the end of 1992, the first School of Landscape Architecture was set up in China. In 2018, the School of Landscape Architecture launched the first international assessment of landscape architecture discipline in China, and agreed by the international assessment experts that "Landscape Architecture at Beijing Forestry University has ambitious goals and occupies a strong leadership position in China."

The School has formed a cluster of innovative disciplines on human settlement environment with landscape architecture as its main focus. The School now has three disciplines, including landscape architecture, architecture, urban and rural planning, and the interdisciplinary discipline of ecological environment of urban and rural human settlements. The landscape architecture ranked first in the national first-class discipline assessment of the Ministry of Education in 2012, and received A+ in the national first-level discipline assessment of the Ministry of Education in 2016. Landscape architecture, in support with urban and rural planning and architecture was listed as the National First-Class Construction Disciplines in 2017. In 2018, it was listed as one of the first-class disciplines jointly built by Beijing and central universities. In 2019, the School established the High-precision Discipline of Beijing University of Urban and Rural Human Settlement Environment based on landscape architecture. In 2022, landscape architecture was again listed as the National First-Class Construction Disciplines.

The School has produced renowned experts and outstanding talents. In the field of landscape architecture, our School has produced academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, namely Wang Juyuan, Chen Junyu, Meng Zhaozhen, and Asia's first recipient of the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award, Sun Xiaoxiang.
