Instructor: Alissa North
Meeting Section: LEC0101
Friday 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

This course examines several of the most notable and exciting landscape architecture competitions from across Canada and the United States, which have defined the trajectory and direction of contemporary practice. Lectures will examine the shortlisted entries for each competition, to understand the theoretical and technical trends of the discipline, within a chronological context.

Learning as much from the proposed designs as the implemented ones, course members will gain a broad understanding of leading landscape architecture practices and their design approaches. Along with participating in discussions, students will produce analytical graphics of a competition of their choosing, to further comprehend a work of landscape architecture’s formal and temporal strategies.
