LARP 540 - Theory II:Topics in Contemporary Landscape Architecture

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Hunt. This course builds upon the historical survey of Theory I by focusing upon recent, contemporary built works, their designers, and the issues that these raise for professional theory and practice today. It also addresses the topic of how we talk about - how we criticize - recent built work: what criteria do we invoke, what modes of description can we adopt, and what kind of commentary or conclusions are we concerned to elaborate as a result The agenda is a mixed one, and the structure of the semester mirrors that: there are presentations by visitors as well as by other Penn faculty, and these focus both on built work and on topics arising there from. Students begin the course by brain-storming about the issues, topics, designs and designers that should be at the center of the discussions.
