Methods include 2-D graphics (drawing and image processing), 3-D graphics (modeling and rendering), and content assembly and conveyance (desktop publishing, electronic publishing, business presentations and printing). Fall and Spring. Prerequisite: Undergraduate standing in landscape architecture or permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both LSA 300 and LSA 500.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and lab per week. Knowledge and skills are developed in advanced processing techniques for digital photography, photorealistic visual simulation and 3-D modeling. Methods include 2-D drawing and image processing; 3-D modeling, rendering, animation, video and VR; and content assembly and conveyance using electronic publishing and business presentations. Fall and Spring. Prerequisite: LSA 300 or permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for both LSA 301 and LSA 501.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. An overview of basic principles and processes of physical and biological landscape systems with respect to their roles in landscape design and planning. Emphasizes landform, soil, slope, hydrology, climate, energy and general ecological issues as common elements influencing landscape design and the land use decision-making process. Sources and uses of environmental data are discussed. Fall. Note: Credit will not be granted for both EST 311 and LSA 311.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Introduction to the interpretation of common places - streets, plazas, shopping malls, neighborhoods, parks, etc. - as expressions of culture. The course uses an interdisciplinary cultural studies approach to analyze the cultural processes and practices that shape places and applies these understandings in the context of design professions. Course requirements include readings, discussions, projects, reports and examinations. Field trips may be scheduled. Fall.
-
5.00 Credits
Seven hours of studio and one hour of lecture per week. This course will instruct those enrolled in the processes of measuring various physical qualities of a site or landscape, and then how to apply knowledge of ecology, natural processes, and human behavior and culture to assess the viability of potential design uses and forms. The material addressed will include land measurement and measurement systems, physiography and landform, soils, hydrology, climate, and plant, animal and human ecology. A variety of manual and computer techniques for data collection, analysis and synthesis of natural and cultural systems information will be explored. The course will concentrate on the comparison of synthesis techniques and their use in land use and site design decision-making. Occasional local field trips will be utilized. Fall. Prerequisites: LSA 182, LSA 226, LSA 227 and LSA 311 (or their equivalent) with grades of "C" or better, or permission of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
Seven hours of studio and one hour of lecture per week. This course addresses intermediate to advanced level site design, including skill development, theory and strategies as they relate to design issues and process. Emphasis is placed on in-depth investigation of concept and form expression in small-scale site design. Focus is on the form implications of applying specific materials, plantings and structural systems through design development and detailing. Occasional field trips to illustrate various design solutions. (Student field trip and materials expenses $300-$400). Prerequisite: LSA 326 with a minimum grade of "C" or better, or permission of instructor. Co-requisite: LSA 342.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of studio/laboratory per week. Lectures, project, and assigned readings. This course provides an introduction to important site construction basics, including landscape grading and landform manipulation. Topics addressed will include appropriate slopes for various site uses, surface and subsurface drainage, principles of cut/fill analysis, pedestrian and vehicular circulation design, horizontal and vertical road alignment, storm water management, and soil erosion control. Appropriate methods and technologies will be demonstrated through studio projects and exercises. Spring. Prerequisite: College math (with algebra and trigonometry), LSA 326, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and discussion per week. This course introduces the properties of various "hardscape" design materials used in landscapearchitectural construction, as well as the appropriate structural systems and design detailing typical for design elements. Occasional local field trips. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture per week. Historical study and style analysis of Western culture on environmental design, and changing attitudes and relationships to the environment. Non-Western influences on Western culture. Study of historical personalities as well as periods that are of environmental concern up to the modern period. Spring. Prerequisites: LSA 205 and LSA 206 and BLA status, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half hour of lecture, two and one-half hours of laboratory, and a minimum of six hours additional laboratory per week are required. This course introduces the student to the fundamentals of computeraided design and drafting. It covers the commands needed to create a two-dimensional drawing, with particular emphasis on techniques used in the design profession applications. The requirements for this course include completing self-tutorials, creating drawings and the completion of two major projects. Fall and Spring. Prerequisite: General knowledge of manual drafting. Note: Credit will not be granted for both LSA 410 and LSA 610.
