Arts administration is an interdisciplinary field that studies the practical management of arts, cultural, and entertainment organizations and businesses and raises questions about the role of the arts in our society. The metaphor of a crossroads is use-ful to illustrate the meeting of commerce and art, where artistic creation seeks an audience and the artist and community most intimately interact. The arts marketer is a key animator of this crossroads, balancing the needs and desires of the audience with the necessity to nurture and facilitate artists and their work.

As an important interpreter of the work, the arts marketer uses tools of business: management, strategy, marketing, financial accounting, oper-ations, and negotiation; and tools of community building: fundraising, development, education, outreach, engagement, volunteerism, public pol-icy, and partnerships; to create thriving cultural connections between artists and audiences. Arts Marketing Theory & Practice lays a foundation of traditional arts marketing techniques and ad-dresses the 21st-century need to balance in-novative web-based communications with new strategies to attract diverse audiences through relevancy, accessibility, and interactivity.

In this course, students will explore arts marketing theory and practice through readings, class dis-cussion, guest lectures, Harvard Business School case studies, and assignments and projects relat-ed to University and Charlottesville arts and cul-tural organizations. Group work and presentations for real-world marketing projects will be balanced by individual work in responses, case studies, and a required final paper outlining a marketing plan.

Arts Administration is a discipline existing at the crossroads of commerce and art, where an artis-tic creation – or any creative product such as an architectural design - meets its audience. Princi-ples and Practices is the entry-level survey course which explores that intersection in theory and in practice, introducing tools of both business and community building. The contention of the course is that concepts from both for-profit and nonprofit sectors contribute to our understanding of hu-man creativity and its management and that the proper emphasis should be on points of connec-tion among art forms rather than on issues which separate them. The course is designed to be of practical and intellectual value for creative citizens of all stripes including current student leaders.

SARC 3104-001/5104 / ARAD 5500DESIGN THINKINGGeorge SampsonT, R - 11:00AM-12:15PM // 3 Credits

Design Thinking teaches that design is not a link in a chain but the hub of a wheel, a way of approaching issues and opportunities by utilizing knowledge from many domains and fields. It is a technique for addressing problems focusing on fundamental human needs using empathy, derived from observation and insight, as a core component. Group work in a studio-like setting comports well with architectural practice yet extends beyond physical products to encompass services and multi-faceted problems like climate change.

The primary goal of ‘workflows’ is to introduce students to the various digital communication tools available to designers as well as their roles, abilities and limitations within the design process. Communication within design fields is primarily visual; therefore this course will stress the impor-tance of each student developing a rigorous and efficient process for creating/constructing draw-ings, graphics and other forms of visual represen-tation. As graphics and drawings are rarely creat-ed using a single tool, ‘workflows’ will introduce a series of different processes and techniques for working between and across multiple design tools simultaneously to visualize and represent design ideas.

We will not treat digital drawings and visualiza-tions as precious or singular artifacts, but rather as design tools that gain layers of information and complexity with the application of multiple repre-sentational techniques and software. Through a series of projects students will test and experi-ment with graphic communication tools to en-hance their own design process.

This visualization module will be split into three sequential portions focusing on different aspects of visual representation.

When multiplied by a growing per-capita rate of consumption, the resulting effect is an accelerated depletion of natural re-sources, loss of natural capital, worldwide water and energy shortages, pressure on global food supplies, loss of precious biodiversity, increasing global health challenges and social upheaval. These issues threatening human well-being and the Earth’s ecosystems. This integrated and interdisciplinary course prepares students to understand, innovate and lead efforts to confront these issues. It provides foundational knowledge on the multifaceted aspects of both problems and solutions, and challenges participants to deepen their understanding of global sustainability issues by working collaboratively on a real-world, sus-tainability project.

The interplay of scientific knowledge, technologi-cal innovation, social organization and cultural ex-pression give rise to emergent modes of thought that are deeply woven into the design of our build-ings and communities. This course introduces a way of understanding, describing and designing the interaction of human constructs and existing ecosystems.

In this course, we will reconsider basic assump-tions that underlie the design of human habitation, exploring both the intelligence of ideas evolved over long time frames and the possibilities emerg-ing from the rapid advance of analytic capacities and material innovation. Following an introduction to the behavior of systems and ecosystems, we will study the interaction between human expe-rience, spatial construction and the inherited dy-namics of energy, heat, air, light and water.

casting – into one semester-long class. You will become fluent in concrete casting and advanced form-making, and explore how design can grow from material, and how the act of making informs form. This is a design thinking class, consider-ing design an intellectual, visual, tactile, physi-cal and iterative process. These are hands-on shop-centered classes that intend to not only gain a working knowledge of concrete, but to push the boundaries and investigate yet unknown potential of the process and the material. With this intimate knowledge of the material and its making, you will be simultaneously developing individual product designs and prototyping them at full-scale. These products may be architectural, landscape or in-dustrial elements. Prototyping designs integral with your studio projects is encouraged.

This course will cover the basics of concrete cast-ing, including form-making, formulas, textures, colors, surfaces, and admixes, and then move into more advanced concepts, formulas, appli-cations and methods, including rubber molds, fiberglass molds, cnc formwork, repetitive casting and advanced applications of ultra high perfor-mance concrete in furniture-scale, building and landscape components. You will design and cast several pieces that explore the potential of the material through small-scale prototypes and then produce a final project as a potentially market or project-ready product.

ARCH 5420DIGITAL ANIMATION & STORYTELLINGEarl MarkT, R - 2:00-3:15PM // 3 Credits

Arch 5420 is a 3-credit workshop/seminar that explores moviemaking through exercises in com-puter animation. Approximately four independent-ly developed short animations constitute the work of the term culminating in a one to five minute time-length final movie project. Subject areas for individual projects may range from short narrative movies involving character animation to the anal-ysis of micro-scale environments or larger scale architectural and landscape settings. Motion cap-ture, sound and video editing are integral to the work of the class.

The principal software is Maya, a widely used technology in computer animation and movie pro-duction. Maya provides an advanced set of ani-mation techniques, such as instantiated motion, inverse kinematics, compositing, fluid dynamics, hair and clothing simulation and other special effects. Also used in the term will be software for digital video editing, compositing, morphing, sound capture and editing. Maya will be available on Apple and Windows computers throughout the school. Free educationally restricted copies of Maya are available for degree students who have access to a personal computer. We will also in-troduce inertial motion capture equipment for full body suit motion capture.

It is anticipated that an interdisciplinary group of students admitted to the seminar will bring per-spectives from across the fine arts and design. Most classes will meet in Campbell 105. Other lo-cations will also be used for tutorials on additional equipment as will be announced in class.

Which is the role of publications in the contem-porary architectural debate? How can the new acknowledges acquire some durability, at least for a while? Which are the interesting contents for us? Does a publication generate reflections and new acknowledge by itself? Which are the media?

For the last 5 semesters, this seminar has worked over these questions and explored vehicles to share, communicate, excite the inner debate, and compile/produce/attract knowledge. We experi-ment the critical edition of contents, reflect on the potentials instruments and educate in the related skills (writing, graphics…). The Seminar is help-ing the School in designing an ambitious program of publications that is, first of all, an intellectual exercise that reflects about our contents, values, design priorities and ways of communicating. Ed-iting, physically or digitally, defines our position and ambition in a world in continuous and fast evolution with a challenging competitive aware-ness of what is going on.

The seminar is composed by a group of faculty and students working together as an editorial council and a publisher that has produced already several books (Paper Matters student’s work Sp12, Vor-tex 01, March book, Catalyst -with student’s work F12-Sp13), magazines (collaboration with Lunch 07/08/09, Snack), guides (Grad and Ugrad Final reviews Sp13) and digital platforms (archdaily, The Linker, and Paper Matters Press).

The body of built work, hypothetical projects, and theoretical writings produced over the last thirty years represents a significant shift in ideas and practices that define the constructed environment. The open and experimental nature of the thinking and work within this time frame is unique within the history of human artifice. Prompted by new technologies in representation, communication, computation, and fabrication along with new un-derstandings and valuations of the human condi-tion relative to natural processes, the architecture, landscapes, and patterns of urban settlement of this period have gained enough maturity so that common themes, patterns, and modes of spatial practice can be understood in relationship to what went before.

This course will explore significant works of spatial design together with the theories and technolo-gies that make these possible in order to develop a better understanding of where we are at the mo-ment and how we might move ahead.

Lectures will present work within thematic cate-gories while discussion will link these to current theoretical texts and propose relationships and counter relationships to past thinking and pro-duction. Diagram workshops will uncover evolving spatial paradigms.

ARCH 5470INFORMATION SPACEEric FieldT, R - 11:00AM-12:15PM // 3 Credits

We live in a world rich with information. This course concentrates on the identity and role of information in our environs: in language, in the buildings and cities that we inhabit, in our ex-panding communications networks, in science, medicine, economics, art, politics; and in the tools and technologies we create to help us navigate, understand, and collaborate on the problems that we face.

Science and technology, including the building sciences, environmental sciences, and political sciences, make a ton of information available to us. We can model, map, and simulate almost any-thing, and produce multitudes of data.But most of us don’t understand `data`. We need to see it. We need to visualize it - to contextualize it, draw its relationships, and envision the scenar-ios surrounding it - to make effective decisions. Too often, though data is available, we don’t use it or misuse it, because it lacks context and meaning to understand. We understand better if we make it visual.

This class is about using information to construct visual and spatial thinking - to find, indeed invent, approaches toward seeing, envisioning, and un-derstanding - to make better informed decisions about the problems of our world. To do this we will study - and make - useful, compelling and beauti-ful information visualizations.

With a dual focus on craft and content, this course will look both practically and theoretically at how we build information, why, and how we use it and populate it in our world. We will study language, graphics, and urban form as dialects of `Informa-tion Space`, while we learn and experiment with technologies in HTML5 and interactive web-based graphical information tools as a vehicle to build new architectures and interfaces that construct, use, and analyze information well.

ARCH 5590-001CATASTROPHE AND CREATIONIñaki AldayMeeting time TBD // 3 Credits

This work is part of a larger research on the re-lation between the dynamics that produce cat-astrophic events and the creative potentials of those dynamics. Among all possible phenomena, the research focuses in the how the flood and the riparian systems associated with it are integrated in the design process. Human settlements along the rivers have adopted basically two attitudes, separately or partially combined: protection and/or some degree of acceptance. The river provides the basic resource for the settlement while, often, the level changes threaten it. This intrinsic conflict between a basic resource and life and goods dan-ger is recurrent along the history and around the globe. Different civilizations have developed devic-es of measure and construction works to control the river expansion. The technical advances have allowed an increasing level of control, pushed by the densification and the land use. This evolution has transformed the flood from a seasonal natu-ral process to an occasional catastrophic event. During the second half of the XX century, big scale engineering solutions have been seen as the most reliable way to protect cities, crops, industries and people, while increasing the opportunities for oc-cupation and production in former flood plains.

However, new floods for which the protection sys-tems revealed ineffective, producing catastrophic results of unprecedented damage, have raised critical questions. Climate change and bigger and bigger variations of volumes of water in the riv-ers are challenging the levels of security. Social awareness about ecological conditions, along with a new critical approach to a single logic solu-tions imposed over complex environments, are demanding new ways to think about the relation between rivers (in all their complexity) and human settlements. During the last decade of the past century and the first of the current one, a num-ber of designs have tested new ways to integrate the river dynamics in anthropic environments. This work is a first attempt to create a ‘map’ of the design with the flood, identifying and select-ing case studies; finding the relations between

In contrast to the earlier paradigm, grasshopper creates variable relationships between geome-tries rather than constructing the geometries in-dependently. This creates the potential for rapid sketch exploration of complete relational domains as well as for smooth transitions from one geome-try to another. Operating first as a mode of sketch-ing, it can also facilitate the increasing precision of idea and crafting that is necessary through design development and fabrication.

The reach of this software has significantly in-creased in the last three years such that it has become the leader of the second digital design revolution. An emerging collection of add-ons, all offered by independent developers operating with-in the grasshopper platform, collectively provide a comprehensive approach to design workflow. These tools are expanding the fields of architec-ture and landscape architecture. They facilitate 1) the collection of data such as demographics, energy flows, site conditions, etc. 2) communi-cation protocols between data streams and 3D modeling programs, 3) the graphic analysis of this data -translating from lists to three dimension-al form, 4) the ability to re-order layers of data, perception, and performance in terms of spatial formations, aka -design, 5) the ability to take graphic files into CNC fabrication for models and prototypes. Designers can more easily integrate performance simulations from the beginning of a project to its completion. Similarly, we can design, simulate, prototype and test new modes of caus-ally determined hybrid ecologies that re-connect human habitats with the surrounding biotic matrix. Current explorations within this expanded field are allowing designers to address such confrontation-al 21st century issues as climate change, biodi-versity and sustainable resource use.

The course will be structured as a sequence of grasshopper tutorials that will cover the workings of the software. The tutorials will form the ba-sis for short projects that students will complete each week. A presentation of the work by notable designers working within the arena of paramet-ric design and an exploration of the new spatial vocabulary enabled by the software will provide context for the semester.

Throughout the course we will consider how ar-chitecture participates in imagining and produc-ing modern subjects, in response to changing aesthetic, technological, social, environmental, and theoretical challenges. Key topics will include changing utopian visions, the ordering of urban space, the influence of new visual technologies and new modes of publicity on architecture, the contested boundaries of public and private space, the global circulation of architects and architectur-al ideas, as well as the shifting importance of na-tionalism, internationalism, and transnationalism to architectural production and urban develop-ment. Although considerable attention will be paid to buildings, cities, and landscapes in Europe, the course emphasizes networks of movement and exchange encompassing Latin America, North Africa, Turkey, India, and Japan. Course meetings will focus on case studies of significant sites that we will examine in detail as a springboard for broader discussions of thematic issues, including those raised by the readings.

“We shape our buildings and afterwards our build-ings shape us” (Winston Churchill, 1943)

Architecture is the one art form that is inescap-able as it provides the environment for our daily lives. We will explore how architecture affects us, as well as how it informs us about past societ-ies. What does it tell us about the priorities and values of the cultures we are examining? In what ways does architecture shape human experienc-es; how does it enhance or detract from human activities? These are among the questions that will be asked from both historical and contemporary perspectives. This course will cover material from the pre-historic period through c. 1420 largely in Europe with some examples from Asia, Africa and the Americas. We will analyze monuments such as the Colosseum, the Great Stupa at Sanchi and Teotihuacan. Classes will be a combination of lec-tures and in-class activities as you learn the fun-damentals of architectural history as well as how to analyze buildings.

This course examines current archaeological ap-proaches to the reconstruction and explanation of the ways in which humans at once shaped and adapted to past landscapes. It highlights the roles that linked ecological, economic, and social dy-namics play in conditioning trajectories of change in past land use, and the ways in which archae-ological evidence can advance our understanding of those processes. It emphasizes current theo-retical perspectives, as well as GIS and statistical methods for the analysis of diverse data including artifact scatters, topography, and pollen spectra. The course is structured around three projects in which students will have an opportunity to make sense of real archaeological data from ongoing research into past landscape dynamics at Mon-ticello.

We will begin with a very brief overview of current approaches to landscape archaeology, and then quickly turn to methods for studying settlement patterns, spatial variaton in agricultural land use, and change in agricultural strategies and their ecological consequences. For each of these top-ics, we’ll look at recent examples from the archae-ological literature, consider the appropriate meth-ods for our data from Monticello, and see what we can learn from our applications.

In addition to two weekly lectures by co-faculty Maurie McInnis and Louis Nelson, stu-dents will also attend weekly discussion sections and special events including guest lectures, field trip, a movie night, and samplings of traditional southern foods.

ARH 3601/7601EAST MEETS WESTYunsheng HuangM - 9:00-11:30AM // 3 Credits

This is a lecture class to introduce the brief history of architectural exchanges between the East and West world. The interaction in architecture is a post-renaissance phenomenon. The separated world had few chances to understand and learn from each other before sixteenth century. Both sides developed their own architectural forms and styles separately and they have reflected different traditions. Eighteenth century was a time when Westerners actively explored to the East. The western professionals brought strong influence to the architecture of the Eastern world. While the East nations were anxious to adopt the Western architectural forms, architects and scholars in the West found interest and value in Eastern archi-tectural forms. The relevant works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, Le Corbusier, I. M. Pei, Minoru Yamasaki, and others are discussed. The signif-icance and impact of this interaction for modern architecture will be analyzed.

ARH 5604FIELD METHODS I: READING AND RECORDING HISTORIC BUILDINGSLouis NelsonM - 9:00-11:30PM // 3 Credits

This combined upper level undergraduate and graduate class is a field based seminar on meth-ods of analyzing and recording historic buildings, especially vernacular American buildings and landscapes. Students will be introduced to an in-tensive building analysis geared to understanding change over time. Students will also learn meth-ods of careful field recording for the purposes of both documentation and analysis. As a field-based course, some of our class time will be spent in the field examining, measuring, and recording buildings. These skills are useful to any architect interested in working with the historic built envi-ronment, any preservationist, and any architectur-al historian interested in working with vernacular architecture or engaging in a rigorous assessment of the material qualities of American architecture.

The students will complete three major require-ments. The first, driven by the class lectures, is an essay examination of the student’s command of the knowledge base of traditional materials and technologies, information essential to read-ing and recording a building in the field. The next two are tied to our project site. The first will be to undertake a thorough examination of one material dimension of the buildings on the site—subjects range from nail technologies to 20th century floor-ing materials—and write a report of your findings. The next is the production of one exacting field drawing of a building on the building site, pro-duced to professional standards.

We will critically assess the role of digital human-ities in art and architectural history through an analysis of digital projects as well as tools. Read-ings will be selected from critical texts such as Thomas DeCosta Kaufmann’s Towards a Geogra-phy of Art and Marvin Trachtenberg’s Building in Time.The course will also include workshops on topics such as viewshed analysis, thick mapping, and 3d visualizations.

ARH 5601HISTORIC PRESERVATION THEORY AND PRACTICEDaniel BluestoneR - 3:30-6:00PM // 3 Credits

In its relation to the existing environment, pres-ervation is essentially a conservative act. It of-ten privileges the past over the future. However, depending on the local context, making historic preservation a priority can work to either conser-vative or radical ends. This course surveys a broad spectrum of preservation activities and grapples with the ways in which people have come to un-derstand and value the past. Preservation will be discussed in the context of cultural history and the changing relationship between existing build-ings and landscapes and attitudes toward history, memory, invented tradition, and place. Reviewing both European and American material, the course scrutinizes disparate forms of preservation in-cluding natural conservation, building restoration, monument and memorial construction, rituals of ancestor worship, philosophies of treating his-toric materials, and strategies for rebuilding after war. The course will foster an understanding of the social, cultural, and ideological complexity of preservation and promote a critical understanding of various concepts of history as they inform con-temporary preservation projects.

centuries and that continue to provide a shared conceptual and formal vocabulary for modern practice. The course situates representative sites in relation to their most relevant geographical, socio-political, and economic contexts. Using pri-mary documents and critical essays, we explore the ideological dimensions of works of landscape architecture and analyze the means by which de-sign decisions reflect broader social forces and material cultures.

LAR 4140/5140THEORIES OF MODERN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTUREElizabeth MeyerT, R - 9:30-10:45AM // 3 Credits

This three-credit course explores the modern de-signed landscape as a distinct mode of cultural production while underscoring landscape archi-tectural theory’s interconnections with changing societal constructions of nature, environmental-ism and the modernizing city. The lectures and readings examine: 20th-21st century design treatises, and manifestos; contemporary theoret-ical writings from outside the design fields: and designed gardens and urban landscapes that are motivated by, or that motivate, those writings. The course recovers the theory (and practice) of modern, postmodern and altermodern landscape architecture from its marginalization as an anti-ur-ban aesthetic of open spaces. Instead, it reveals how landscape architects have re-imagined the modern city-aslandscape and landscape-as-in-frastructure for over a century.

Unlike the narrow and limiting way that landscape practices were characterized in many mid 20th century historical narratives and theoretical texts, actual works of modern landscape architecture were not anti-urban, passive or openspace. Rather, landscape architecture theories and practices were engaged in creating new hybrid forms of urbanism/suburbanism and new modes of expression located at the intersection of scientific (from geologic and ecological principles to complexity theory) and artistic discourses. By examining this hybrid design language and its re-sultant full spaces, students will expand their un-derstanding of what constituted the landscape of

ARH 9540ARTS AND CRAFTSRichard Guy WilsonM - 3:30-6:00PM // 3 Credits

This course will examine the works, theories, and contexts of the Arts and Crafts and related move-ments in the period 1860-1930. Attention will be directed to the designs and the writings of the principle proponents along with later commentary and interpretations. Many issues including social and cultural reform preoccupied the different movements, but several themes seem to emerge: morality, nationalism, tradition, and modernity. For the participants the direct and vital relation of these concepts to the physical making of build-ings, objects, and landscapes became central. Image and style, or how buildings, furniture, gar-dens, landscape, and cities (and other related ob-jects) looked, had moral and national dimensions. Although some aspects of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau have been interpreted as “modern” there was another aspect that was conservative and looked to tradition.

LAR 7180TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION IN LANDSCAPE HISTORYMichael LeeT - 1:00-3:30PM // 3 Credits

This seminar explores the role of technological revolutions in the practice and culture of land-scape architecture. By examining innovations that have had the greatest impact on the field, we will develop a general framework for understanding the reciprocal dynamics linking creativity in land-scape design with advances in technical skills and knowledge.

Course sessions will consist of case studies drawn primarily from the early modern period and Indus-trial Revolution. Themes will include innovations in hydraulics and irrigation design, transportation infrastructure and civil engineering, construction materials and techniques, horticulture and the plant trade, administrative science and the advent of “bureaucratic vision,” and the evolution of land-scape representation in book and print culture. Our theoretical framework will include readings from the history of science, the sociology of tech-nology, and classic treatises in landscape theory and practice.

modernity and its contemporary trajectory. Since recent criticism of mid-twentieth century modern-ism has focused on the ethical and aesthetic lim-itations of those mainstream concerns, knowledge of these “marginal” 20th century landscape theo-ries and practices is germane to design, history and planning students who are interested in green urbanism, landscape urbanism, operations and process, ecology and technology, public space, and sustainability as well as feminist theory and criticism.

LAR 5210TOPICS IN CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE: PUBLIC SPACEElizabeth MeyerM - 9:00-11:30AM // 3 Credits

A decade ago, urban scholars lamented the devo-lution of public space as vital arena for social in-teraction and political action. Increasingly, over management by “business improvement districts” rendered many allegedly public spaces incapa-ble of hosting the sort of informal, unexpected encounters that should happen in the city. The public realm as a space of encounter where one recognizes difference, developing empathy and tolerance for others in support of constructing a democratic community, seemed idealistic and an-tiquated. But, recent political protests and occu-pations occurring in public spaces near and far—from Cairo’s Tahir Square and NYC’s Zucotti Park to DC’s National Mall--suggest that the efficacy of physical spaces as social condensers, the role of urban gatherings in the construction of group identity, and the symbolism of the public realm as a “space appearance” are not yet depleted in our information society. In fact, the public sphere of virtual space and physical space is increasingly intertwined and entangled.

PLAC 5240COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR SUSTAINABILITYFrank DukesT - 3:30-6:00PM // 3 Credits

Planners, elected officials, community leaders and public policy professionals find themselves con-fronted as never before by challenges to the very functions of government. “Collaborative Planning for Sustainability” proposes that communities can only be sustained ecologically, socially, and eco-nomically with informed, legitimated participation by citizens actively engaged in public governance. Public decisions are generally better when devel-oped by processes that are inclusive of diverse views, transparent and inviting to those such deci-sions affect, and responsive to participant needs. Such processes need to encourage behavior that builds relationships of integrity and trust and de-cisions that are creative, effective and legitimate.

People yearn for accessible forums and processes to engage one another productively and safely, to speak of their own concerns, needs and aspira-tions, and even to learn the real needs of their neighbors. Such caring can engender conflict, which may be harmful, but authentic collaborative processes provide an opportunity to transform civ-ic disarray into civic virtue.Students will develop a capacity to assess the strengths and weaknesses of collaborative pro-cesses, learn best practices for engaging stake-holders and publics, and practice designing and conducting public meetings, dialogues and other forums over contentious issues.

PLAN 3310/5310HISTORY OF CITIES AND PLANNINGDaphne SpainT, R - 9:30-10:45AM // 3 Credits

This course is an overview of urban planning from antiquity to the present, with emphasis on the 19th and 20th century American city as the con-text in which the profession emerged and grew. An underlying assumption is that knowledge of the past is a valuable asset for planners because it informs the present and influences the future of cities. The course is intended for planning stu-dents and students outside the field seeking an understanding of the profession and its relation-ship to urban development.

The American planning profession originated in response to the “search for order” accompanying 19th century urbanization and industrialization. Initial voluntary efforts at municipal reform were eventually supplanted by the work of experts from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, and the social sciences. The course addresses these experts, major events, and dates, but it also highlights lesser-known figures com-monly overlooked in traditional histories. Like all history classes, this course requires considerable reading. Selections are a mix of primary sources that expose students to the language and thinking of the historical era, and secondary sources that analyze or reflect on trends. By the end of the se-
