OVERVIEW
Drawing is a fundamental component of the design disciplines: it is the visual language through which spaces, processes, materials, forms, and time are expressed. It is also a tool of argument and critique, allowing designers to establish positions in relation to their subject matter. As landscape architects, we think through visualization. It is our primary analytical apparatus and avenue of experimentation; it is the way we frame an agenda and express intention. What are you trying to communicate, and how do you convey that message visually?
Your primary goal this semester is to construct effective, compelling narratives using visual and verbal techniques. In this course, we will emphasize digital representation in plan, diagram, 3D projection, and animation.
This course is divided into four units that address different aspects of landscape representation. The varied exercises will introduce you to a wide array of digital drawing methods that will guide you in developing your own graphic identity.
