L ARCH 322: Intro to Planting Design - Living Materials in Cities
Bo Peng
3 Credits, A&H
MW 11:30-12:50
SLN 15981

As urban areas continue to accommodate an ever-growing population, how can urban inhabitants embrace design ideas that reconnect human beings with nature and re-conceptualize cities as resilient ecosystems? In this course, we will explore this question through a variety of topics related to contemporary design theories and practices in urban planning, landscape architecture, and green technologies. As an introductory course, LA322 aims to offer foundational knowledge relating to living materials and systems, urban ecological design, and biophilia design in the built environment, while exploring opportunities and cultivating creativity for planning and design practices. Course activities will involve a variety of means including lectures, group discussions, guided/self-guided field trips, and creative-based exercises.

L ARCH 498C: The Practice of Community Engagement
Eric Higbee
3 Credit Seminar
TTh 1:30-2:50
SLN 21384

Sweeping epidemics of polarization, loneliness, and social fragmentation have dramatically transformed the social context for working with communities. How can shapers of the built environment practice effective community engagement in this new social climate? More importantly, how can community engagement be a counterforce that helps reverse our troubling social trajectory and leave a lasting positive impact on the communities we serve?

This course will explore the current and future practice of community engagement. We will examine the social psychology of bridging identity groups and explore community engagement’s potential to cultivate shared identities, tolerance, and belonging in the places where we live. We will also learn and practice methods of community engagement, including process design, community event structures, meeting facilitation, and more.
