Thereby, the objective of the present study is to realize a landscaping project for the Itaqui Campus, in search for a space of integration and socialization for the academic community. The methodology applied in this study was based on the qualitative research, which enables the researcher to elaborate innovative means for data acquisition. The project was realized in the city of Itaqui – RS, at the Itaqui Unipampa Campus, at 29º09’21’’S e 56º33’03’W, in an area of 5.156 m². The ground floor comes from a topographic survey that was realized at the campus. The software used to realize the project was Revit 2016, which was developed to model construction information. The scale 1:100 was adopted for the representation of the project. A quiz of four objective questions with space for comments about the project was distributed to thirty five students, in October 26 of 2018, for the Landscape and Floriculture subject. These questions were about the choices and disposition of the architectural and vegetable elements of the project, students were also presented to the campus plan prior to the landscape components introduction and subsequently to the final campus plan, which included those elements. From the presentation, students could expose their opinions about the project, which leaded to its modification and, therefore, to the elaboration of a new project based on the student suggestions. It was observed that, from the quiz applied, 77% of 35 students considered the architectural elements choices as good and 20% as great. Thus, 97% of the students presented a positive analysis regarding the elements choice. Concerning the elements disposition, 69% considered it good and 20% great. When asked about plants choices, Question 3, 49% chose good and 29% chose great, and for plants disposition, 68% of the students considered it good and 23% great.

In summary, to develop a good landscaping project it is necessary to reunite beauty and functionality, where elements must not only seek beauty, but also possess harmony, symmetry and proportion to a determinate environment.
