The imprint of human influences on the landscape is a reflection of culture, technology, values, and societal attitudes towards nature. This course provides an overview of these influences: throughout history, examines the ways through which today’s society impacts landscape systems, and surveys contemporary strategies through which landscape planners and designers seek to address grand challenges. Couse will explore landscape dynamics in a range of territories including those that are intensely urban, agronomic, protected wildernesses, and all places in-between. Satisfies Volunteer Core Requirement: (AH)

Other Instructors: Bates, Gary Edward

Introduction to contemporary principles and processes of landscape design including site analysis, concept development, and design representation. Theoretical understanding and practical knowledge are exercised through site planning and design projects that explore topography, hydrology, ecology, and the materials of designed landscapes. Course will include analog and digital workflows including components of computer aided landscape design.

Contact Hour Distribution: Two 3-hour labs.

Theories and practices of managing designed landscapes as integral components of communities and their contextual environment. This course will explore sustainable, ecological, and adaptive management approaches with an emphasis on site-scale practices, system-scale thinking, and holistic solution development.
