Studio instruction is a distinctly different form of teaching from the methods used in
lecture or seminar classes. Studios offer unique opportunities to provide
interdisciplinary learning in 'real-world' contexts. They are also ideal forums for
combining teaching, research and public service, and for pursuing what the Carnegie
Foundation has called the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application and
the scholarship of teaching.
This project will transform studio courses taught by the Department of Landscape Architecture into interdisciplinary classes based on real-world projects. It will monitor and assess the effectiveness of these transformations in terms of teaching and research, and develop robust and enduring ties between different disciplinary areas--from natural sciences to social sciences--that may work together on studio projects.
