But how do these systems relate to landscapes? What is the role of smart technologies in landscape functioning and design? Defining smart systems technologies, their role in landscape functioning, and their application to design are the main foci of this course. The course aims to provide a comprehensive view on smart technologies; the past, current and future of urban-landscape informatics tools; the challenges to delivering on the promise of the Internet of Things; and the applications that have been successfully applied. Smart concepts and tools are categorized according to application fields as: land use, transportation, environment, energy, social issues, economy. The course will provide an introduction to the technologies, case studies, and lab-based practicums on informatics models in each category. Design implications and connections and design tools will also be explored.

Instead, it is reified in a wide range of forms and formats, including familiar types—such as parks, pictures, and poems—but also less-considered ones—such as legal and scientific documents, games, sound art, and gastronomy. This seminar examines the theory and practice of landscape as a relational condition. Participants will explore twelve works of landscape in diverse media in order to understand how their terms (e.g., conditions, durations, limits) are defined and negotiated. Through firsthand experience, close analysis, and interpretation, with scholarly supports, students will address questions of agency, purpose, and meaning alongside practical concerns such as materiality, technique, and context. Along the way, they will also sample recent thinking about humans and nature. The work of the semester will culminate with each student studying closely one work of landscape in a medium of their own choosing, taking into account the premise of landscape as a relationship between humans and nature while interpreting the work according to personal priorities, methods, and aims.
