Questions about Landscape Architecture
TOWARDS LANDSCAPE PERFORMANCE
How do we simulate urban/landscape performance? Can urban form be optimized to reduce environmental impacts?
What simulation tools are needed to understand the performance of cities?
How do we integrate energy and environmental performance modeling?
What monitoring and performance data is needed?
How do we better integrate the design process?

ZERO+ CAMPUS DESIGN PROJECT 4 BARRY LEHRMAN
ZERO+ CAMPUS DESIGN PROJECT 5
M-Term: Optimizing the Building/Landscape Interface May 23 – June 9, 2011 (3 credits)
Exploring the interrelationships of energy, resources, water, and carbon emissions across building, site and regional scales.
The course seeks to: 1. Envision a Zero+ Approach to design for the campus – what is it, and how do we measure gains in performance? 2. Bridge diverse scales and ecological issues through interdisciplinary collaboration. 3. Explore and apply sustainable design principles, and strategies to creating design proposals that can achieve goals of net-zero energy, water and resource use on campus.

TOWARDS ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
How do we integrate ecosystem services into the built environment? What tools are needed to model ecosystem service performance?
How do we create living cities and regenerative landscapes?
How can landscapes and infrastructure become multi-functional?
