In this way the course is as much interested in design as it is in plants. We feel this is an important distinction for contemporary landscape architecture which has a tendency to focus on plants or plant systems as objects as opposed to what may be effected via those plants or plantings. It must be remembered that plants are only one aspect of a rich ecology of factors which must be considered on any site. With this in mind, we will approach design wholistically but with an emphasis on plant materials and the ways they may be deployed on the site to generate effects which may be spatial, sculptural, functional, programmatic, environmental, etc. Syllabus Student's finished designs for Eagles Nest of St. Clair County: Garrett Hallen and Johnston Hannon and Choy Heck and Annes Hurd Smith Kuhlhaas Jirick and Utterback M2 Merritt Miller and Darrow Williams and Han Zimbovsky Last updated on 6/30/2009
