LARP 602 - Studio IV

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Olin/faculty. This elective option studio is designed for work at an advanced level, introducing students to advanced problems in landscape architectural design. Typically sites and programs tend to be large in scale, entailing the design of urban parks, waterfront developments, residential/community developments, urban renewal projects that also address territories in transition. Models are also typically emphasized in this studio. Students develop design strategies through the processes of mapping and fieldwork as well as specific proposals and projects that emerge from these. They are also expected to develop their design work through a series of construction documents (grading, planting, details) and to present these alongside strategic and conceptual drawings/models at the end of the semester. Past studios have included the design of new urban landscapes for the Naval Shipyard in South Philadelphia; the suburban fringes of Philadelphia; the lower Mississippi floodplains; and low income housing and community development in Camden, NJ; the Valles Caldera in New Mexico; the Beijing Yuan-Ming Yuan District revitalization study; a park in East Stroudsburg, PA; urban design strategies for Chengde, China; Children's Island in Prague; U.S. and Mexican borderlands; and Jones Pont in Alexandria, VA.
