ARCH 215 Spring 2011

This seminar aimed to explore how the physical and conceptual understanding of landscape can enrich current forms of architectural and urban design practice. At the junction of landform, infrastructure, urban design, and architecture lies a rich field of possibilities that is increasingly superseding the narrower field of each of the disciplines by themselves. The course explored the implications for public space in an era of increased security and risk mitigation and how designers may direct the various invisible forces which give form to the world around us.
