Welcome to the Department of Landscape Engineering: Where Science, Art, and Nature Converge to Create Livable Spaces

The Department of Landscape Engineering at the University of Sistan and Baluchestan is a hub of creativity and innovation at the intersection of landscape architecture, ecological sciences, and the art of design. We believe that green space is not merely an ornamental element in the urban fabric but a vital and dynamic infrastructure that ensures ecosystem health, urban resilience, and the psychological well-being of society. Our mission is to cultivate a new generation of engineers and designers who, equipped with a profound understanding of ecology, a mastery of aesthetic principles, and proficiency in modern technologies, are capable of creating landscapes that are sustainable, functional, and inspiring. From designing urban parks and restoring natural landscapes to developing innovative green walls and roof gardens, we seek to establish a harmonious balance between human needs and nature’s capacities in every project, thereby enhancing the quality of life across all scales.

Message from the Head of the Department

It is with great pride and pleasure that I welcome you to the Department of Landscape Engineering, a pioneer in landscape education and research in southeastern Iran. In an era where environmental challenges and the need for high-quality urban spaces are more pronounced than ever, our mission as an academic institution is to train creative and responsible specialists who can seamlessly blend the art of design with the science of sustainability. Our department, a forerunner in offering this discipline in the country and one of only four universities providing a Master’s program, is proud to offer a dynamic environment for learning, research, and the creation of innovative solutions for urban and natural landscapes. I invite you, the future architects of Iran’s green spaces, to join our academic family and step forward with us on the path to building a healthier, more beautiful, and more sustainable environment for current and future generations.

With respect,

Dr. Behrouz Naroei

Head of the Department of Landscape Engineering
