LARCH 115Design I: Intro Spatial Composition
Landscape Architecture Studio 1 is the first design studio in the undergraduate Landscape Architecture curriculum. This studio introduces students to foundational concepts and methods in landscape architecture with a primary focus on the principles of spatial composition. Spatial design composition is introduced through lectures and readings and design skill is developed through studio projects that explore the space-making potential of landform, plants and structures in creating human experience in the landscape. Students explore design ideas through sketching in plan, section and perspective and by modeling their ideas in three dimensions. Students are introduced to graphic layout and composition as a means of presenting their design ideas to others.
