Landscape Architecture Design Studio III

6 units

This studio investigates the planning and design of a post-industrial site in Saint Louis city, through reclamation strategies and an understanding of the site's ecological, historical, and cultural underpinnings. Students will propose a design that addresses both the specificity of site and the larger environment through conceptual and analytical research. Examination of program, infrastructure, natural processes and reclamation will lead to a generative process to shape the landscape at multiple scales -- from urban context to site concepts to personal experience.
