Visual analysis is one of the basic design tools of a landscape architect. Subsequent advancement in the computer technology provides new opportunities to develop one’s approach to design. At the Cracow School of Landscape Architecture the visual analysis has been evolving alongside other landscape studies. The aim of the article was to examine whether the experience and development of scientific methods is reflected in education. As a result of the analysis of the method of education It was shown that students are successively introduced to the problems of using and applying visual analyses starting from the least challenging view sections to testing the latest research, such as the degree of visibility or specialized fractal panorama analyses. This approach is used not only in the field of design work, but it is also highly regarded in cooperation with the professional environment, such as national parks or landscape park boards.
