This design and planning studio focuses on challenges in the creation of sustainable frameworks for resilient multifunctional regional landscapes. This studio will explore the interconnected systems of landscapes at a large, planning scale and engage communities by studying current issues that impact Minnesota landscapes, places, and people. The studio will employ digital geographic information systems and large scale landscape analysis tools to tackle future design and planning issues facing large suburban and/or rural regions. Projects will be approached through a combination of team and individual assignments requiring field work, environmental and human (social, economic, political, etc.) analysis, scenario planning, and visual representation techniques.
