LAAR 62200 Introduction to Landscape Architecture History
Synoptic themes in landscape architecture history will be presented with theoretical texts to provoke critical thinking about the evolution of landscape form and ideas in Western and non-Western culture. Students will research and document a thematic aspect of world landscape architecture to produce a verbally and visually articulate presentation. Topics include but are not limited to: the role of gardens in American cities, case studies through time in ecologically sustainable practices, and critical assessments of urban infrastructure form and function.
