Falck/Berrizbeitia. Module 1: The Art and Craft of Detailing: This first module of Workshop IV introduces students to the design and construction of a used by landscape designers in the creation of the man- made environment. The course focuses on the various materials available for these designs, their physical characteristics, their modes of production, sequences of assembly, their life-in-use, maintenance needs, and ultimate re-cyclability where appropriate. Some of the topics covered in this module are the various materials employed in the design of the ground plane and its conditions of change: surfaces, transitions, accessibility and the laws of ADA, joints, seams, edges, etc.; free standing and retaining walls; decks and overhead structures; and understanding and developing specifications. Construction techniques covered in this course include: reinforced concrete and "in-earth" retaining wall systems, reinforced concrete superstructures, wood frame superstructures, steel frame superstructures, glass superstructures, and tensile membrane or cable-net superstructures and ETFE type air-inflated superstructures. Module 2: Urban Landscapes and Manufactured Sites Topics; This advanced workshoppresents innovative techniques associated with current professional practice inlandscape architectural construction, engineering, and planting design with special emphasis on urban landscapes. A number of special topics and case studies such as site remediation, landfill sites, structural soils and urban plantings are introduced by specialists. The teaching in Workshop IV includes detailed studies of construction documentation, project design, material and horticultural technology, and new building techniques. These studies are facilitated through case studies and visits to selected built works and professional offices.

Faculty. These advanced elective studios provide opportunities for focused exploration of particular themes in contemporary landscape architecture. Important emerging and accomplished designers, often from divergent points-of-view, interests and backgrounds, are invited to run these studios. Collaborative options (between Landscape and the Departments of Architecture or City Planning) are sometimes offered across the School. In addition to our own faculty who offer some of these studios (Berrizbeitia, Corner, Latz, Mathur, Olin, Sanders, Tomlin), visitors have included Bernard Lassus (Paris), Paolo B_rgi (Switzerland), Margie Ruddick (Philadelphia), Peter Beard (London), Nicholas Quennell (New York), Ken Smith (New York), Raymond Gastil (New York), Alessandro Tagliolini (Italy), Ignacio Bunster (Philadelphia), Perry Kulper (Los Angeles), James Wines (New York), Lee Weintraub (New York), Charles Waldheim (Chicago), Stanislaus Fung (Australia), Dennis Wedlick (New York), Sandro Marpillero (New York), Peter Connolly (Australia), Catherine Mosbach (Paris), Nanako Umemoto (New York), Chris Reed (Boston), Valerio Morabito (Italy), David Gouverneur (Venezuela), and Carol and Colin Franklin (Philadelphia).
