Handbook

This studio focuses on design resolution and documentation of one project. The project requires consideration of people / place issues, environmental considerations and use of precedents. The design phase includes preparation of design options to express each student's appraisal of the site and client brief and to demonstrate evaluation of priorities. Verbal and graphic presentation of the design process and final design resolution to a jury concludes the design phase. The documentation phase requires each student to prepare a set of working drawing documents, using CAD, to describe all or selected parts of their design. The expected standard of documentation is to the industry standard of communication of the technical components of the design's construction to a landscape contractor.
