Diverse seminars in sustainable design, site planning, environment and behavior, landscape history and theory, media production, landscape planning, research methods, and professional practices link designers with their constituents through participatory processes using the latest technology. Our mission is to provide students with the intellectual capacity coupled with technical and form giving “design know-how” expected to create innovative, long-term solutions focused on human and ecosystem health, social equity, and quality of life.Īcademic programs, delivered year round, include core and advanced design studios and seminars that expose our students and faculty to multiple learning experiences in the Research Triangle Region, the many historic and contemporary urban destinations of the South East, the NC State University European base in Prague, and an interdisciplinary program in Ghana. The Department’s interdisciplinary approach focuses on design issues of urban growth and (re)development, integration of resource-conserving urban infrastructure systems, place-making embodying cultural and economic vitality, adaptation to climate change, and promotion of environmental justice. Reflecting the growing urban population and fueling the program’s professional academic, scholarly, research and extension agenda are the existing and emerging “normal to wicked” landscape design issues, challenges, and opportunities facing small to large communities and cities of the southeast United States and beyond.
