Introduction to Sustainable Landscape Design What are our outdoor experiences like? How can we design and interact with the world in a safe, inviting, and inclusive way? Sustainable landscapes use an ecosystem approach to design, strengthening the connections between us, our physical place, and the living systems surrounding us. Using our campus landscape as our laboratory, in this studio course we will engage in outdoor explorations, discussions, and readings. We will also conduct projects that explore concepts in landscape design, including site analysis, resource inputs, functional considerations, and design principles for creating sustainable landscapes.

This was my second course with Tim Parsons. He is extremely smart and enthusiastic about this course. It is mostly project based like most design courses. The final project felt relevant and it was based on what he taught throughout the course.
