Section Description
Landscape Design is a studio course that introduces students to the principles of landscape design. Through discussions, field trips, studio exercises/critiques, and real-world design projects, students will be introduced to a fundamental design vocabulary, the design process, and graphic communication strategies. Students will: 1.Understand that landscape design/landscape architecture is an art based upon science, specifically the science of ecology 3.Recognize the way landscape designers use core elements such as topography, plants, and circulation to create designs 4.Learn to use effective graphic communication to represent their design thinking 5.Develop an understanding that design is an iterative process, requiring patience, time, and critical thinking
Section Expectation
Students are expected to attend class for all designated periods and participate in studio activities and critiques. This courses focuses on the fundamentals of hand drawing and drafting. Students are required to purchase basic drafting supplies, including tracing paper, drawing pens/pencils, drafting tape, triangle and circle templates, and an engineer’s scale. All students must have at least one landscape graphics book for reference. Students will also be asked to buy and use a sketchbook to share their work and responses to specific sketchbook prompts. This class will also involve iterative design work including smaller presentations of draft landscape designs during “desk critiques” as well as larger formal presentations as final “reviews” of designs. In a typical semester, students work on two different studio projects. Some assignments will be completed in small groups, but the majority of assignments are individual.
