140E LANDSCAPE DESIGN HISTORY
THE CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPE TRADITION: EUROPEAN & AMERICAN ANTECEDENTS
This course focuses on the roots of modern ideas in landscape design and their theoretical bases. The central emphasis will be to examine the pioneer spirit in the Western garden tradition. Primary to the course will be the examination of landscape designs of California and the influences from Classical, Mediterranean and Islamic traditions. European and American antecedents will be addressed and a series of themes from the points of view of both architecture and landscape design will be emphasised. Influences are traced from the ‘door gardens’ of the Dutch in the New World and Colonial gardens, to the reinterpretation of French and Italian gardens in America’s ‘Golden Age’
Secondary themes are the appreciation of social, architectural, and landscape history, the origins and interactions of design through time, and how the rich historical heritage has affected modern taste and aesthetics. The course includes slide lectures, class discussions, painting analyses, reading, and field trip. A mid-term quiz and an individual project will be included.
Prerequisites: Not open to freshmen.
