Projects and designers will represent a worldwide and multicultural perspective. The relationship between dynamic social and technological changes will be emphasized as a method of understanding the meaning of modernism as applied to the landscape architecture profession. Parallel developments in other fields of creative endeavor, such as architecture and the fine arts, will be assessed as a means of understanding the direction and flow of design trends. The format is lecture and discussion.
