Media I introduces students to the discipline of landscape architecture through representation. To represent landscape is to enter into its shifting processes, to trace what is fleeting as much as what is enduring. Each week students will learn techniques and workflows combining analog, digital, and time-based media. Through abstraction, translation, and iteration they will learn how representations generate new ways of seeing, and how media informs the design of landscapes. In support of these technical skills, a series of lectures and readings will situate representation within the history and practice of landscape architecture. This course provides an open forum for reflection, critique, and dialogue. It encourages students to explore multiple modes of representation through technical skills, creative workflows, and careful curation.
