Introduction to Environmental Design I is the foundation studio for our 2 majors: Landscape
Architecture, and Environmental Planning. The studio investigates how landscape design and planning can
shape the environment purposefully, productively, and provocatively. An introduction to the rigor and language
of the environmental design process, as well as the tools, techniques, and creative speculation needed to move
through the various stages of that process, it touches upon:
 aspects of human use of the landscape,
 plant material in the landscape,
 and landform (using topographic plans, sections, and contour models)
