Design III: Site Design

Catalog description

Landscape Architecture Studio 3 - the third design studio in the undergraduate Landscape Architecture curriculum - follows LARCH 116 (Spatial Design) and further explores site design through expanded complexity of site and program. Students are presented with design projects that include more extensive and complex programs and a broader range of site scales, existing conditions and contexts. Projects also expand the extent and complexity of pedestrian and vehicular circulation. These expanded site and program considerations require students to consider a broader range of design responses while building skill in site design. Throughout the semester, students will continue to develop skills in graphic representation and visualization to explore design ideas and develop presentation graphics. Students are expected to draw upon visualization skills developed in the concurrent LARCH 255 .
