Event Description: Welcome to the world of ecological design, where environment and art intersect. Get your creative juices flowing as you combine design process & design principles with the ecology you’ve learned in prior Certificate courses. Students will design a predetermined site to create a beautiful and immersive space, supportive of people and planet. This intensive two-day workshop starts with the basics of understanding the client, analyzing the site and drafting plans and builds as students shape the landscape using design principles and ecological themes. Students will then develop a site-specific plant palette and apply it to foundation plantings, natural areas, and the spaces in between. Through a combination of lecture, studio time, and homework, students will gain real time practice and feedback, learning to make informed decisions in ecological design. Although the class will be working on a pre-determined site, each design is sure to be unique!
