Faculty and Staff

The Landscape Architecture faculty is an enthusiastic and reliable source for instruction, inspiration, and consultation. Our collaborative scholarship, creative research, innovative teaching, and service to the community reinforce the interdisciplinary approach to design and planning that is the hallmark of landscape architectural practice. We stress the importance of solving problems responsibly and imaginatively. The design studio experience engages students in the process of creating comprehensive alternatives for real and hypothetical design interventions in the cultural and natural landscape. Full-time instructors and practicing professionals teach visual thinking skills and environmental awareness through hand drawing and computer graphics, design history and theory, and implementation technology.
