Design II: Spatial Design

Catalog description

Landscape Architecture Studio 2 - the second design studio in the undergraduate Landscape Architecture curriculum - introduces students to small-scale site design. Students are introduced to essential topics in site design: the importance of understanding and responding to site and program, the fundamentals of pedestrian and vehicular circulation, the necessity of designing within a broader social and natural landscape context, and creating refinement in design form. Students are introduced to fundamental concepts through lectures and readings then presented with design projects intended to provide immediate application of those concepts. At the end of each design project, students develop presentation graphics that explain their final designs and supporting information.
