LAND_565 Landscape Architecture Seminar: ‘Landscape Technology’

Throughout the world of landscape design, there has been a strong resurgence of interest in landscape methods as a comprehensive and innovative approach toward defining and engineering sites. Techniques for working the land engage dynamic processes, molding conditions and creating forms to control erosion, conserve water, and minimize human impact. As such, landscape methods have created new standards of performance for sites of all sizes and circumstances. 

In this seminar, students created a series of detail drawings and site plans to further develop the constructability of a landscape architecture design project. Drawings utilized industry standard conventions in annotation, dimensioning, hatching, and lineweights to communicate the intended design outcome. Students selected a studio project they previous worked on as a starting point, and developed professional-level documentation as if they were preparing an initial schematic design package.
