Landscape Architecture Design Studio

Designers create spaces with meaning and purpose. Using design principles and processes, you will explore methods of spatial composition and gain tools for ideation, organizing, and presenting your work.

Ecological Foundations of Design 1

All life depends on soil, water, and plants. You’ll gain mapping, observation, and recording skills while exploring the scientific characteristics, ecological relationships, and the tolerances for human development on natural systems.

Landscape Design Studio

All landscape designs need an organizing concept. Where do these “big ideas” come from? Using diagrams, study models, and scaled drawings, you’ll learn to translate your design concepts into design proposals.

People and the Environment

This course focuses on the relationship of individuals, communities, and societies to the landscape and the importance of promoting a user-oriented approach to design. Specific needs of under-represented populations will be discussed. Students will learn methods to observe, record, and analyze human interaction with their surroundings. (This course is cross-listed… Read More

Landscape Architecture Design Studio

Building upon information gained in previous courses, students will combine graphic skills, technical knowledge, and site inventory and analysis in order to collaboratively focus on the creation of sustainable, accessible and more livable public outdoor spaces. Emphasis will be placed on effectively applying each step of the design process. (This… Read More

Drawing as Process

Communicating ideas through accurate plans, sections, elevations and other drawings is a fundamental skill for any designer. Students will develop strong foundations in mechanical and freehand drawing by applying professional graphic conventions to a variety of projects. Connecting information on 2D drawings to 3D spaces will be developed.

Advanced Landscape Graphics

Landscape architects use digital renderings to communicate with everyone involved in a project. You’ll learn to use the same state-of-the-art modeling and rendering software that the pros use to explore and communicate ideas at any scale. (This course is cross-listed with LAN 323.)
