Full course for one semester. This advanced studio course explores architectural and landscape-based sculpture. We will study artists and architects from the 1970s to the present who work within the realm of environmental art, land art, and architecture. We will focus on new ecological materials and planning methods, which focus on the use of available resources and the invention of new materials such as the William McDunna, Rural Studio, Orta Studio, and Simpark. Studio training will begin with an introduction to drafting using AutoCAD, model building, planning strategies, writing proposals, and consideration of building materials. Students will create three scaled models of architectural works, draft a proposal, and build an element of one work out of doors. Land and Environmental Art, edited by Brian Wallis, will provide background texts for the course. Two local professionals will visit the class, one working in the realm of architecture and one working with landscape. Prerequisite: Art 161 and 281 or consent of the instructor. Studio.
