PLSC 491 - International Study: Design Thinking Through The Lens of Gardens and Culture3 Credit Hours
Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process used to challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions. Through the lens of design this international travel experience will provide opportunities to learn how historic and contemporary landscapes, estates, gardens, urban spaces, and arboreta reflect the climate, topography, and ecology of our world. As well as the historic, cultural, and scientific movements that informed their design at the time of their creation. The course will focus on observation and experience of different landscape design styles, gardens, local plant material, and will foster an appreciation of international cultures. This course is suitable for any major and individual students will reflect on how their experience can inform their future career. This course uses experiential learning practices focused on immersive experiences.
