We learn by doing.
Landscape Architecture is constantly dealing with socio-ecological issues. We design the natural environment for people and with ecosystems in mind. The courses led by Dr. Fragomeni are consistently addressing social and environmental issues and aim to use service learning opportunities to allow students to experience the challenges of designing with sustainable principles in mind. Each semester the students develop technical and design skills to further their capacity to address the complexities of our landscapes. Check out the highlights for the courses below and see what students develop in these courses.
LAND 3310: Construction I – Site Engineering
Theory and practice in manipulating landform in landscape architecture. Earthwork computation, drainage systems, sedimentation and erosion control, roadway design, and low-impact design.
LAND 3430: Design III – Program Development
Knowledge and theory of site design and planning with a focus on program analysis and development. Design of appropriate form and function through precedent study and research on user and client needs, development regulations and site context. Application of theory to a variety of project types and scales.
LAND 4340: Theory IV – Professional Practice
Business, legal and professional dimensions of landscape architecture. Modes of practice, licensure and ethics, and contract development and administration. Emphasis on portfolio development and licensure preparation.
