Introduction to architectural drafting, freehand drawing, orthographic projection, shades and shadows, rendering techniques and perspective. Weekly drafting assignments. Consent of instructor required for nonmajors. Considerable equipment expense. 294A Construction Materials (2nd sem) With lab. Introduction to materials used in landscape construction, their design potential and limitations. Design details and construction methods discussed. 297 Special Topics A&B: Studio I (1st sem) 4 cr Introduction to Designbasic introduction to two-dimensional concepts of design. Line, form, contrast, repetition, symmetry, texture, scale, and other design techniques. Modelsintroduction to three-dimensional design thinking by creating spaces through land form, vegetation, and structure. C&D: Studio II (2nd sem) 4 cr Spaces/places in contextintroduction to design processes. The relationship of site context factors and design program to the formation of landscape spaces. A series of small problems such as: courtyard, plaza, small park, ceremonial space, each with a well defined program. Site visits and analysis, diagramming relationships between various activities, and developing an understanding of design processes. 397 Special Topics A&B: Studio III (1st sem) 4 cr Residential gardenintroduction to translating client needs into a program of activities. Recreation and open spacea systematic view of open space networks. Concepts of public, semi-public, and private spaces. Methods of site analysis and programming activities emphasized. C&D: Studio IV (2nd sem) 6 cr Institutional and commercial scaleissues of design for commercial and industrial uses. May cover the spectrum from a site plan for an office complex to a marina. Issues of cost, client needs, program, and politics. Site planningintroduction to concepts of site planning for housing developments. Students perform a detailed site assessment using methods learned in natural factors and previous studio on a 100-acre (+/-) site and apply them to development of a master plan. E: Site Engineering (1st sem) Site engineering problems related to general design including: construction processes, road alignment geometry, grading, drainage systems, earthwork, and detailing. Emphasis on construction document preparation. F: Site Structures (2nd sem) Advanced construction and structural problems: retaining walls, decks, and small structures. 494A Professional Practice (1st sem) Models of professional office structure: management, organizational behavior, and economics. Guest professionals give insights into the profession and how an office should be managed.

Topics on historic preservation. Urban detail designissues of urban design at a detailed level. Information from construction, plant materials, planting design, and other studios to develop a complete package of drawings. C&D: Studio VI (2nd sem) 6 cr Landscape planningintroduction to inventory and assessment models and techniques for policy planning, regional scale design proposals, and site selection for particular development types. Final project studio run by guest professionals or by faculty working on a design competition. Work on real-world problems which help to synthesize the information garnered during four years.
