If you are interested in this STEM Accredited program, join us on May 21 at 2:30 PM for an informative session on what to expect from a landscape architecture program! We will spend some time briefly reviewing the program, hearing from a current BLA who will share their BLA admissions application (and their current portfolio!!), and take a tour of Gould and drop by the first year studio. Folks interested in either the Urban Ecological Design Minor or the Bachelor's of Landscape Architecture are welcome to join.

The health of our world and the quality of our lives and future generations depends on how we act now and plan for our future built environment. This foundational course will use the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to examine the social, environmental, and economic concerns that all nations must confront in the face of issues such as climate change, poor health & wellbeing, and unsustainable growth & consumption. We’ll examine case studies of strategies in design, planning, and policy to engage these issues through just and equitable practices in the built environment.

“Site design and planning is the art and science shaping the places we live and work. Its aim is foundationally moral and aesthetic: to enhance everyday life.”
- Lynch and Hack, Site Planning
Through field trips, lectures, drawing, and discussion, this course explores the art and science of shaping sites. Balancing broad conceptual frameworks with practical tools, we will survey
the ecological, cultural, political and technical dimensions that influence site design and planning in contemporary practice.

Landscape architecture is more than the study of private gardens. Landscape histories bear witness to the diverse experiences, ideas, and people that, through time, have shaped space and place both exalted and everyday. Learning to “read” landscape and its histories o ffers important skills to challenge the legacies of colonialism and oppression, interrogate our present-day environmental crises, and navigate uncertain futures. In this survey course we critically examine the writing, production, and performance of global landscapes and their narratives from the Paleolithic to the mid-19th century.
