Learn construction principles and practice from site design to schematic design, design development to final construction, plus documentation drawings and how to create a technical specifications bid package.

Studies the basic materials and methods used in landscape architecture site construction with an emphasis on sustainable materials, construction practices, and detailing with materials.

This course focuses on irrigation system design, specifications and construction. Instruction emphasizes water conservation and techniques of efficient and appropriate application. Various systems and techniques are explored, as well as concepts for system modernization, reclamation and water management.

Using graphic conventions and calculations, grading and drainage techniques used in every landscape architecture project are applied to grade a complex site while considering public health, safety, and welfare.

A quick dive into landscape theory, history, design principles, and understanding scale and drawing. Students apply these lessons in a final project resulting in scaled drawings and models.

Applying site inventory and analysis with a site program, students create their design process and concept development using real sites in interesting urban and semi-urban environments. Use of computer modeling programs is highly encouraged.

Learn how to analyze a site and create a program design that responds to the site and surroundings.

Explore form and the importance of scale in landscape architectural design. These skills and insights are applied culminating in a study of a small, site-scale school garden.

This studio course develops the student's ability to solve complex design problems, including issues of client analysis, space planning, and selection of interior components.

This seminar and studio course explores the ideas, imagination, and inspirations behind developing design concepts.

As the precursor for Capstone, with an instructor-selected site, design process, and site analysis, the student refines a program, selects goals and objectives, and prepares a design solution and documentation booklet.

Concept development focuses on developing an ability to use drawings to model and manipulate visual information throughout the various stages of design evolution. Learn intensive drawing and design thinking.
