This class is designed for graduate students who have taken basic lectures and exercises in environmental design to learn more about landscape design in a more specialized way. We will observe some landscape design projects in cities and suburbs, then analyze, discuss their social and spatial meanings, design concepts, plantings, pavements, structures, and facilities.
In the second and fourth weeks, we will actually visit parks and green spaces in Tokyo (on-site gathering and dismissal), and the following week, students will give presentations and discussions on their analyses and considerations.
