MLS 588 - The Art of Landscape Design: From Renaissance Garden to Green City

Credit(s): 4
The health of a society can be discerned by the quality of its landscape, and the manner in which it is designed. The Renaissance Garden is the point of origin for this class, the rebirth of the classical ideal. From this early effort to reunite humanity and nature, the evolution of landscape design will be studied through the Baroque, Enlightenment, Romantic, and Modern periods. The course will culminate with a focus on Florida, with field trips to Bok Tower Garden.
