Students will generally understand energy systems and urban landscapes, its impact on climate, and potential community scaled responses and how to apply it in design. This is an asynchronous online course.

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 negotiated through a wide range of media. 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 are defined and negotiated. Through shared firsthand experience, close analysis, and interpretation, with pertinent scholarly supports, students will address questions of agency, purpose, and meaning alongside practical concerns such as materiality, technique, and context. As a semester-long project, each student will develop and self-publish an original zine in a print edition of 20, interpreting and influencing the contemporary situation of landscape through a lens of personal understandings, priorities, and aspirations.
