Applies concepts and principles of earthwork, land manipulation, water, and drainage and basic construction in short exercises. Basic concepts of ecology and plants will be incorporated. Introduces digital applications in a combined lecture and workshop format. The course may have an embedded travel. Prerequisite: Must be enrolled in LAR 6010 or LAR 7010 Studio or Instructor Permission.

The course intends to establish a solid base of technical knowledge about the physical and performative characteristics of traditional landscape materials, plants, and emerging alternatives. The course may have an embedded travel. Must be enrolled in LAR 6020 or taken LAR 6210 or Instructor Permission.

This course introduces a range of conceptual frameworks & techniques that embrace the highly generative agency of representational media in the design process. Varying theoretical perspectives, grounded in landscape's history & conventions, situate student learning activities to iterate between different representational techniques, utilizing both analog & digital technologies, skills, & workflows to support a critical & creative design practice.

Design Computation introduces computational thinking and design in the context of long-standing site and architectural technologies. Topics include temporal representation, spatial structures, associative modeling, cartography, and spatial analytics.

Semester long design project, with a community engagement component at an urban or suburban site that explores the contemporary public realm at multiple scales, from the urban watershed to the detail. Some studios sections for this course may have an embedded travel. Prerequisite: LAR 6020.

Territorial scale issues in contemporary contexts of cities impacted by urgent environmental, economic and social circumstances are explored. Design propositions are generated at the scale of landscape infrastructure to that of individual citizens. Some studios sections for this course may have an embedded travel. Prerequisite: of LAR 7010

Seminar exploring topics in landscape architecture theory through direct readings, discussions & research papers. Topics vary from year to year--e.g. public space, representing temporality & process, changing conceptions of nature & ecology (from sustainability to emergence), gender & design, the works of a specific designer or region. Graduate course will have additional course requirements.

This course is for landscape architecture students. This student-driven course will engage with faculty and other students to support their design research. Students are expected to gather the appropriate resources and focus on contextualizing their work

The course presents historical and contemporary approaches to landscape regeneration and the methods and technologies that are applied. The course may have an embedded travel. Prerequisite: Must be enrolled in LAR 7010 Studio or taken LAR 6220 or Instructor Permission.

Culminating course looking at large scale earthwork and construction methods that integrates the principles of water and land into the foundation studio, with an emphasis in landscape infrastructure, coastal, living systems, and management. The course may have an embedded travel. Prerequisite: Must be enrolled in LAR 7020 Studio or taken LAR 7210 or Instructor Permission.
