This course will begin with an investigation of early 20th century strivings of landscape architects towards both modernist and conservationist approaches within the profession. These threads will be followed to discover and appreciate the context of the modern profession's main avenues of work. The class focus will be on establishing criteria for categorizing major activity areas within the profession ranging from the outrageously artistic to the courageously scientific and placing a representative sampling of specific works and practitioners within the context of the typologies defined. The many venues for practicing environmentally proactive design will be at the forefront of readings and individual research.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the fundamentals of the Cultural Landscape Report (CLR), the primary method of documenting, analyzing and treating a cultural or historic landscape and HALS documentation. Realization of historic landscape treatment as a sustainable factor is key.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the many facets of ornamental horticulture including the economic opportunities of growing and caring for plants. A basic knowledge of plants, plant biology, plant physiology, plant reproduction, plant maintenance as well as evolutionary changes will be presented through the perspective of professionals in various fields including botany, arboriculture, forestry, landscape contracting, and landscape architecture. The course also covers the challenges of using environmentally healthy horticultural practices.

3.00 Credits
The focus of this course is to introduce students to the concept of soil as a natural resource, the basic physical, chemical and biological properties of soils; the management of soils for growth of terrestrial vegetation; the role of soils in buffering watersheds and aquifers from environmental pollutants; and the role of soils in natural and managed landscape and aquifer water budgets. The role of soils and associated vegetation in global carbon budgets will also be discussed. Emphasis is placed on soil as an influential factor in urbanized and disturbed settings.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the common biotic and abiotic problems caused by diseases and pests in ornamental plants, as well as basic concepts of the current techniques and beliefs on managing these problems. Students cover the general principles of diagnosis and learn environmentally friendly management options. Students successfully completing this course will be able to: diagnose common biotic and abiotic problems associated with landscape plants; identify common insects, disease, weed, and vertebrate pest; prescribe appropriate integrated pest management strategies for specific situations.

3.00 Credits
This is the first in a sequence of design studios focusing on concepts, skills, and methods of design. This course introduces the student to the basic vocabulary and theoretical principles of the design process, with oral, written and graphic project presentations relative to the natural environment. This studio includes a sketchbook and models for the development of three-dimensional spatial concepts in form, sequence, relationships, scale, color, textures, and values within the context of sustainable landscape architecture. Additional Fee(s): Course Computing Fee.

3.00 Credits
In this studio, students learn to analyze, synthesize, and assimilate contextual, site-specific diagramming into the development and presentation of creative and sustainable design solutions for specific landscape architecture projects. These projects lead to an understanding of design problem definition, program development, as well as a spatial appreciation of scale, site analysis and inventory as essential elements of the environmentally focused design process. Emphasis is placed on site analysis and conceptual diagramming. Model building is a component of this course. Prerequisite(s): LAR 541. Additional Fee(s): Course Computing Fee.
Prerequisite:
LAR541

2.00 Credits
This workshop focuses on engaging community input in the design process. By utilizing an actual project - Scenic Byway Park - the students will learn to facilitate citizen participation in the public landscape. By responding to an existing community vision, the students may help to shape the ongoing dialogue needed to implement this multi-faceted project.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the fundaments of sustainability theory and practice. Students develop skills and fluency in evaluating the interrelationships between the human actions in the built and natural environment. Focus is placed on core philosophies of sustainable thought and decision-making approaches that satisfy environmental, economic, and social criteria. Practical alternatives are analyzed for more sustainable design, construction, landscape, and maintenance of the built environment. An experiential learning approach is used to develop facilities for assessing sustainability issues. Cross-listed as ENV 443.
