This fall term we have an especially interesting array of student projects, and we invite you to come to the students’ formal presentations of their progress on the projects.

In the fall term, each student is assigned an individual project selected from property owners in nearby communities who have contacted the school requesting site design and planning services. Although the focus is on a small area, the projects are never simple. Students are expected to learn and use a basic knowledge of geology, climate, soils, hydrology, botany, wildlife and other natural sciences, as well as skills in surveying, engineering, construction, planning, and conservation. They follow a coherent, logical process of site analysis and assessment to develop design alternatives and recommendations shaped by that information. The design solutions strive to fit the particular needs of the clients to the specific ecology of the site and uphold the school’s mission.

At the presentations, the students’ clients and a panel of guest critics will provide feedback, which will help guide revisions they make over the next several weeks.
