Introduction to Landscape Architecture History

This course provides a cultural history of landscape architecture to understand the design, inhabitation, and ecologies of landscapes including cities, gardens, territories, and the environment across space and time, with an emphasis on infrastructure, power dynamics, and the urban realm. By critically probinglandscape’s histories, narratives, and counternarratives, students will be better poised to understand and articulate their own contributions to the field as future practitioners. The course follows a loose chronology based insynoptic themes, which will be presented with theoretical texts to provoke critical thinking.
