3.00 Credits
The study of 20th century landscape design with an emphasis on the Prairie School, modernism, organicism, and contemporary trends. The course is split between lecture and in-depth case studies of significant landscapes from the Chicago region and beyond. Collection information from the study projects' authors and weekend site visits will lead to models and representations (drawings, videos, etc.) that reveal otherwise latent aspects of each study project's organization, perceptual character, appearance, and performance. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
The roles and expertise of, and the relationships between, consultants commonly used during site planning, design, engineering, construction, and post-construction maintenance. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
The players who orchestrate and manage landscapes, including planners, landscape architects, trusts, governmental agencies, and developers; and their economic, professional, political, and socio-cultural concerns and responsibilities. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of historic landscape preservation theory, method, and practice, and their relationship to environmental and cultural considerations. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
Using hand drawing and physical modeling to explore and interrogate landscape processes. Techniques and methods to explore, develop and envision ideas particular to landscape design. Mapping, time, movement, body in space, line, contour, texture, flows of materials (hydro, litho, areo), plant communities. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
Using digital tools to clarify, conceptualize, represent, and communicate the forces and flows within designed and engineered environments. A fluidity between critical, visual, and quantifiable digital techniques will be cultivated and will ground the management of information across software platforms. Focus on Photoshop, Illustrator, and AutoCAD. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
3.00 Credits
Students learn advanced digital fabrication and modeling techniques necessary to understand complex three-dimensional surfaces, objects, and space, as well as dynamic processes. Modeling, rendering, scripting, and animation skills are used to conduct, generate, and communicate research. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
6.00 Credits
Understanding the fundamental relationships of dynamic natural processes, with an emphasis on representing time, movement, space, light, natural rhythms, shifting boundaries and enclosures, and the physical materials of landscape. Within a "natural" setting, students use varied tools (including the body) to measure and record landscape-specific phenomena and conditions such as erosion, entropy, edges, and movement through dynamic spaces. Students develop insightful and appropriately precise methods of modeling and representing these phenomena. 6. 000 Credit Hours 12. 000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Studio College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
6.00 Credits
Introduction to ecosystems and how human interaction affects them. Emphasis on the Midwestern prairie and forest biome's wildlife, vegetation, climate, water, and aquatic ecosystems. Effects of human land use patterns on the land and on plant communities, and how they can be altered. Techniques and terms used by environmentalists and instruction in conducting a baseline ecosystem study. 6. 000 Credit Hours 12. 000 Other hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Studio College of Architecture College Architecture Department
-
6.00 Credits
Basic biological principals of plant growth and horticultural production methods for plants used in landscape design. Study of the interdependence between technology and biological systems in landscape architecture. Topics include an introduction to botanical nomenclature as used in the industry and experience with construction materials (concrete, masonry, wood, and metals), their properties, and applications. Studio semester project combines plantings and constructed elements. Field trips. 6. 000 Credit Hours 12. 000 Other hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate Schedule Types: Studio College of Architecture College Architecture Department
