This design studio is the foundation course for the landscape studies program. The course gives students a broad overview of the breadth and scope of landscape design as it expresses society's relationship and attitudes toward nature and the land. Students will begin to learn the language and vocabulary used for seeing, describing, analyzing, and designing landscapes by looking at examples of historical and contemporary landscape design. Through weekly design exercise, including collages, sketches, and model making, students will learn how landscape space and form are created and how they articulate meanings and functions. They will explore the interrelationships of the structural elements that define landscape space and investigate the principles that create spatial design. Emphasis will be placed on learning how to generate ideas and give aesthetic and functional form to creative concepts. Cross-listed as LNS 300.
