Summary

University landscape architecture program studios can harbor unethical studio environments. Current accreditation standards and antiquated views on the value of models in representation can lead to a focus on the technical requirements of curriculum, rather than the effect of studio culture on a student’s design process.

In this thesis, I argue for the benefits of foregrounding a making-based approach in landscape architecture pedagogy. This can allow for new forms of creativity, design, and visualization to emerge in the classroom and professional studio environment. The goal of this thesis is to offer an approach to creating a studio culture that enables students to bring their own skills, histories, cultures, and interests into the design studio.
