The Integrative Design of Built and Natural Environments certificate is focused around an exciting design approach that relies on design processes and thinking. It integrates spatial data technologies to effectively and efficiently inventory, represent, analyze, evaluate, and communicate planning and design alternatives for landscapes, cities, and regions.
Proactively codesigning and coproducing healthy places comprehends, plans, and acts on social and environmental information and, therefore, a diverse suite of elective courses addresses social and environmental considerations through stakeholder engagement, environmental justice, policy, conservation, and management.
Required courses will apply spatial technologies (GIS, Geodesign) to enable collaborations among the design professions (landscape architects, planners, engineers, and scientists and humanists from various disciplines), and community members. This collaborative process will help prepare you to work in interdisciplinary teams and to appreciate diverse perspectives and values while addressing complex problems.
