[IN]LAND
[IN]LAND is an intensive six-week program designed to immerse students in landscape architecture. Students are learning the fundamentals of landscape architectural practice through the process of making and experimentation as research into site potentials. Initial ideas are developed and transformed through rigorous investigation in a collaborative studio environment. Students develop a landscape vocabulary that engages with the concepts of ecology, public space, sustainability and multiple scales of design.
Topics
- [IN]LAND is geared towards post-baccalaureate students who are considering graduate study in landscape architecture. Successful students will build a quality portfolio that can be used for further academic pursuits on a graduate level. No previous design experience is necessary.
- Throughout the course, students learn to express a site in terms of its organizational and relational characteristics while investigating a range of potential conditions over time. Individually and collectively, students pursue inquiries that are agile and flexible, and experiment with various mediums to uncover hidden aspects of processes, spaces and materiality.
