Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ENVD 2130, ENVD 3003, and ENVD 3004 (all minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
    Focuses on design projects not in a building envelope, including landscapes, public and private urban spaces, complexes and similarly scaled design projects. Aspects of architectural and planning thinking are interwoven in a landscape concentration. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 1004 (minimum grade C-).
