6. Brief Description of Course Content:
The course "Smart and Resilient Landscape Design" will guide you through the basic concepts in resilient landscape design. This course is organized around disruptive events that communities now experience: drought, extreme heat, fire, flooding, landslides, and, importantly, biodiversity loss, which subverts our ability to work with nature. The goal of resilient landscape planning and design is to retrofit our communities to recover more quickly from the mentioned extreme events, now and in the future. In an era when disasters can cause traditional, built systems to fail, adaptive, multi-layered systems can maintain their vital functions and are often the more cost-effective and practical solutions. Learn about the various resilient landscape design solutions and nature-based design materials, and the professional scope of landscape design projects. The course includes numerous case studies and resources demonstrating multi-benefit systems as well as the small-scale solutions that fit within those. The course also explains landscape architects’ role in the planning and design teams helping to make new developments more resilient.
