LAAR 520 - Landscape Architecture Design Studio II

Ten hours.
6 Credits

This design studio builds upon the abstract art related design elements and principles covered in LAAR 510. Emphasis is placed on the introduction of small scale urban projects that incorporate urban sites and their context. In particular, design projects are crafted to assist students in learning how to link design concepts with functional site programs. The course also reinforces the graphic techniques and graphic conventions typically used in the landscape architecture profession, the use of plan, section, elevation and 3-dimensional drawings to communicate ideas and spatial organization, and the craft and use of model building to convey design intent, spatial organization, and human scale in space.

Prerequisite(s) LAAR 510 and LAAR 511, ENST 512 or permission of the instructor or Department Chair.
