Explores the relationships between landscape and urbanism, and the theories, tactics and workings of the emerging field of landscape urbanism. Conceives of the field as an intellectual realignment of landscape's role in urbanization processes, rather than qualifying it as a practice-based discipline conditioned by the study of historical precedents and contemporary built projects. Weekly lectures, readings, and guest speakers present a wide array of multi-disciplinary topics. Students conduct independent research which identifies future work for the field. Topics vary from year to year.
