LAAR 510 - Landscape Architecture Design Studio I

Ten hours.
6 Credits

This course is an introduction to the design vocabulary and spatial principles necessary to organize exterior landscape spaces. Students study art and sculpture as a basis to begin explorations into concept development, drawing materials and techniques, model building and collage. Studies in this studio remain abstract in nature to ensure that students grasp the importance of design composition, human scale, and space definition in landscape settings. Students design one small urban space at the end of the course to assess their knowledge of concepts learned in the course.

Prerequisite(s) Admission to program or permission of the Department Chair.
