AAU Landscape Architecture

Epic Cleantec is doing great work converting blackwater into clean soil. Our students designed their demonstration garden in SF.

Summertime at LAN! LAN 117: Survey of Landscape Architecture went on a field trip today. They visited some hidden rooftop gardens and other SF urban landscape. So much history exists in such a small plot of land!

Don't miss the Urban Hike this Saturday! We'll start with coffee and end with a picnic. Comment below if you have any questions. Email Administrator Kathryn Baldwin if you plan on attending. [email protected]

"...to expand the potential of projects we need to mediate the disconnect between science and design, building on positive strategies by ecologists and designers to increase collaboration and success."

Our friends at CMG will be taking on this massive project to redesign Civic Center Plaza. Some quotes from the article: .design effort to remake and unite the three large blocks that include Civic Center Plaza, U.N. Plaza and the 300-foot-wide block of Fulton Street bracketed by the Main Library on the south and the Asian Art Museum on the north. The idea is to make the three-block stretch into a compelling sequence of varied spaces civic in scale, able to absorb protests and parades with ease, but cozy enough so that nearby residents and workers might want to stop by on a daily basis.

"...we shape the earth best when we plan and design with careful regard to both the ecology and the character of the landscape." Did you know landscape architecture is more than ecology?
