3.00 Credits
This course is the second in a series of CAD-related courses that is specific to the profession of landscape architecture. Students are introduced to the software appropriate to representing landscape architecture, currently Land CAD and Geographic Information Systems. The intent is to represent grading, cut-and-fill calculations, terrain modeling, visual analysis, spatial modeling, resource management, site design and master planning. Specific software includes: ArcView GIS and CityGreen. Prerequisite: ARCHDSN- 208 or ECBIO- 301
-
6.00 Credits
Design VII is a topical studio within the landscape architecture studio sequence. Students may customize their education by selecting a topical studio from several options. Optional topics may include, but are not limited to, brownfield redevelopment, co-housing development, waterfront redevelopment and community revitalization. Other studios that can be substituted for this studio include: a Study Abroad studio, a digital studio through the Digital Design program, an Architecture design-build studio, or an interdisciplinary studio with the Architecture, Industrial Design or Interior Design programs. Prerequisites: grade of "C"or better in ARCH-301 and LARCH- 302
-
6.00 Credits
This studio course focuses on restoration management methodologies and ecological landscape design principles as they apply to a damaged urban landscape. Students explore restoration methodologies, how to determine values and make choices, while being cognizant of the costs and public perception. Techniques, practices and materials - both sustainable and conventional- are evaluated and then applied to a selected brownfield site in the Philadelphia area. Prerequisites: grade of "C" or better in ARCH-301 and LARCH- 302; ECBIO- 207
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers theories and practices of historic and cultural preservation as a component of a more comprehensive framework for environmental and resource management. Students study the importance of designating historic districts, buildings and landscapes, as well as accomplishing preservation goals, within the existing regulatory environment. Also covered are interpretive methodologies for understanding current cultural and social patterns and practices in the landscape, with an emphasis on sustainability. Prerequisites: ARCH-205 and LARCH- 207
-
3.00 Credits
This seminar, the fourth of a four-term sequence of history/ theory courses, explores the theories pertinent to the practice and study of landscape architecture. The major issues that have influenced both the meaning of and the practice of landscape architecture will be critically reviewed. Topics may include the relationship of landscape architects and their work to culture, technology, politics, stewardship, nature, the designed environment and people. Prerequisites: LARCH- 307
-
3.00 Credits
Urban hydrology examines sustainable water resource issues as they relate to landscape planning and site planning and design within the urban or urbanizing context. This includes the theory and techniques associated with soil and water conservation - comprehension of the why, when and where that leads to sustainable planning or design strategies. Topics include surface water hydrology, stormwater runoff estimation, sustainable stormwater management techniques, watershed planning, flood routing and impact mitigation, and erosion and sedimentation control tools and regulations Prerequisite: LARCH- 207
-
6.00 Credits
This course is the sixth in a series of studios specific to the Landscape Architecture program curriculum. The scale of the project is at the site scale. Whatever the design problem, students must deal with the project from inception through construction documentation, including site inventory and analysis, research of appropriate precedents, formulation of concept/design ideation, analysis of various material options and evaluation of the impact of the design upon the community and the physical environment. An appropriate body of theory and research, complemented by applicable case studies, will be selected and inform the design process. The theoretical framework will vary with the project type selected by the instructor. This course is closely aligned with LARCH-513 (Tech IV: Construction Documents). Prerequisites: LARCH- 207 and LARCH 409; grade of "C" orbetter in both LARCH- 401 and LARCH- 402
-
6.00 Credits
This course is the last in a series of studios specific to the Landscape Architecture program curriculum. Students work independently and select their own Capstone Project topic. The Capstone Project requires individual research, inventory and analysis, programming and design concept development through final design. Prerequisites: LARCH- 591; grade of "C" or better i n LARCH- 501
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces the ethical, legal, and administrative issues and procedures encountered in numerous forms within landscape architecture practice. Topics include: types of practice, project management, the ethical and legal frameworks in which professional landscape architecture practice occurs, contractual documents, proposal preparation and fee structuring. The preparation of an effective resume and portfolio concludes the course. Prerequisite: ARCH-505
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers theories and practices of historic and cultural preservation as a component of a more comprehensive framework for environmental and resource management. Students study the importance of designating historic districts, buildings and landscapes, as well as accomplishing preservation goals, within the existing regulatory environment. Also covered are interpretive methodologies for understanding current cultural and social patterns and practices in the landscape, with an emphasis on sustainability. Prerequisites: LARCH- 306 or ARCH-421
