Course Spotlight: LAND 501 Core Studio

The 501 studio — one of the core studios for MLA students — introduces the importance of practicing landscape architecture within a multi-scaled understanding of world-wide watersheds. In recent semesters, the studio has encouraged thinking of water as the primary component that drives all other aspects of design.

As part of this course, students took a guided canoe trip down the Mississippi River to investigate sites of interest along the waterway.
