INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN FRAMEWORKS AND SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES

LANDARC 210

Introduction to the techniques and processes used in solving three-dimensional design problems in the urban and natural environment through studio exercises. Understand how design process and design principles create physical and sensory experiences in our everyday lives. Develop fundamental verbal and graphic communication skills used in the professional design world. Gives attention to the basics of design theory and philosophy.

LANDARC 511

Explore and apply methods and technologies used in the geodesign framework that emphasize collaboration among the design professions, the natural and social sciences, and community stakeholders. Exercises will focus on scenarios within the built and natural environment.

LANDARC 366

Introduces beginning design students to the interdisciplinary processes used in solving three-dimensional design problems for both exterior and interior spaces. Allows students to understand the integration between architectural design, site design and interior design, and how these design realms create physical and sensory experiences in our everyday lives. Helps students develop fundamental verbal and graphic communication skills used in the professional design world. Questions explored in this course include: How to humans experience their environment? How do we perceive and interact with spaces where we live, work, and play? What makes great interior and exterior spaces? How do designers think to solve creative spatial design problems?

LANDARC 563

Exploration of broad scale design issues to develop synthesis and design skills. Uses spatial form and bioregional cultural, ecological and environmental concepts to solve land use and conservation problems. Regional design requires advanced techniques for inventory, analysis, and design to help in understanding complex trends, policy and design impacts, hazard mitigation, design intervention suitability, design guidelines, and systems level design. These techniques help us explore the relationships between regions and sites, especially regional implications of site design decisions and site design impacts on regional characteristics and systems.

LANDARC 353

Problems dealing with the comprehension and modification of the earth's surface including landform design, preparation of grading plans, earthwork calculations.
