3.00 Credits
This studio course explores the development of graphic techniques and introduces students to the landscape design process commonly used in landscape architecture and horticulture. Students explore spatial composition and develop a basic small scale design project using a variety of graphic skills.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the fundamentals of plane surveying: basic measurement of distance, angle and elevation; use of basic surveying equipment: total station, levels and tapes, field notes; and basic computations: traverse closure and determination of areas.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to Computer Aided Drafting using AutoCAD. Focuses on learning the basic commands for drawing in two dimensions including: absolute and relative coordinates, working in layers, paper and model space, manipulation of text, and plotting.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
For exceptional students interested in pursuing independent, in-depth study. Credits are based on the quantity and quality of work fulfilling the established course outline.
Prerequisite:
Permission of department chair and instructor is required
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the design process: inventory, analysis, program development, and conceptual design. Students apply the design process to spatial composition of small scale site design projects.
Prerequisite:
LAN ARC 1142
-
6.00 Credits
Development of the student’s comprehension of important elements in the ecologically based landscape design process. Projects lead students through typical design processes that include inventory and analysis, case studies, evaluation of opportunities and constraints, development of conceptual ideas, and detailed landscape designs. The design process is applied to a variety of small scale, urban and suburban site design projects. Using a combination of computer, mechanical and free hand presentation techniques, studio work typically includes: site inventory and research and analysis; program development; concept alternatives; master planning; and detail design studies.
Prerequisite:
LAN ARC 1142
Corequisite:
LAN ARC 2241
-
6.00 Credits
The development of mixed use and sustainable communities within the natural, social, cultural and economic context of development or redevelopment. Investigations of large-scale land use and community planning projects in the urban or rural context. Real world projects range from preparing community based revitalization plans and designs for inner city neighborhoods or redeveloping a rural or suburban area.
Prerequisite:
LAN ARC 2143
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the basic concepts, ideas, and techniques that deal with the visual, functional, and ecological aspects of grading and landform manipulation.
Prerequisite:
LAN ARC 1142, LAN ARC 1244, and matriculated Landscape Architecture or Horticulture student OR permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles, processes, and techniques of site engineering for “soft” elements of landscape architecture. Based on the understanding and appreciation of ecological principles, functional requirements, and aesthetic considerations, students learn elements of design/engineering such as advanced grading, storm water management, and road alignment.
Prerequisite:
LAN ARC 1142 and LAN ARC 2241
-
3.00 Credits
Presents a comprehensive overview of western civilization’s efforts to create useful, beautiful, and symbolic spaces from ancient times until the modern day. Note: This is a writing intensive class and requires completion of English 0802 or equivalent.
