The cultural landscape studio introduces students to the process of research, planning, design, and management of historically and culturally significant landscapes through selected projects for land management agencies and other government or private clients.

In Studio V, students develop an understanding the legal context and as well as the topographic and environmental contexts when site planning for housing. Fundamental site design and planning criteria, development of project organization, and presentation skills are developed.

A survey of the evolution of structures, settlements, and landscapes in the western world from the origins of human societies to the close of the Medieval period.

This course continues the introduction to landscape design. Students will learn how to conduct a Site Inventory & Analysis, explore Conceptual Design alternatives and vocabularies, and translate this thinking into a proposal through Design Development. The studio will advance students? skills in hand-drawn illustrations and introduce Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of visual communication as both an iterative part of the design process and an important means for communication and public presentation.

This course is an introduction to the skills necessary to envision and explore design.
