About This Course
This course explores new methods to conceive, create and represent landscape through the 3D modeling software Rhinoceros. Investigations during the course commence with visions of landscape surfaces and their manipulation. Further exploration covers objects, buildings, structures, follies and architecture that inhabit this landscape. Throughout these studies, students revisit and reconceive the relations between their landscape strategies, the things that inhabit them and how to represent them.

Landscape Architecture
Whether you want to design a national park, or a modest, water-efficient backyard, landscape architecture can give you the skills and abilities to change the places you live, work, and play for the better. The profession of landscape architecture is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together design, environmental systems, sustainability, construction knowledge—as well as land and water conservation—to influence place making, and to create designed outdoor living spaces.
