LARCH 336Design Implementation IV: Stormwater
This course is the fourth of four studio courses in the implementation sequence, all of which focus upon the more technical aspects of landscape architectural practice. By means of lectures, studio problems, assigned readings, and computer courseware, LArch 336 will present the principles and techniques of: Advanced Landform Design and Site Grading- integration of landform and structure through iterative grading design process; water flow and surface drainage. Site Systems and Stewardship - soil, water, and vegetation interactions and ecology; site protection; site systems management; environmental responsibilities and stewardship. Hydrology and Stormwater Management - basic site hydrology; overview of hydrology and stormwater management concepts, infiltration; surface runoff calculations, surface and subsurface drainage systems design. Production of technical drawings using computer-aided-drafting is expected in this class.
