Landscape Materials, Assemblies, Techniques offers an introduction to a palette of typical building materials used extensively in the crafting of landscape architecture. The material’s historical context, physical properties, manufacturing processes, sustainability, constructability, fabrication, and assemblage will be explored within references to tectonic elements such as floor, column, wall, and roof. The lectures will be structured around isolating one or two materials and exploring their possibilities in landscape elements through various examples of built work. The course also includes the communicative aspect of the detail through various drawing techniques and drawing conventions. Lectures will be supplemented with site visits to built work to gain a deeper understanding of the physicality of ideas presented in class.
