WE TAKE PRIDE IN THE DIVERSITY OF WORK BACKGROUNDS THAT STUDENTS BRING TO OUR PROGRAM. AS THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY FURTHER EVOLVES THE WORLD OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, STUDENTS HAVE EMBRACED ITS VITALITY AS WORKFLOW AND COMMUNICATION TOOLS. OUR CURRICULUM INTRODUCES MANY TO THESE PLATFORMS FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHILE OTHER PROFESSIONALS HAVE DEFINED AND STANDARDIZED 2D DRAWING CONVENTIONS, 3D RENDERING ALLOWS STUDENTS TO DELIVER PROJECTS WITH MORE COMPLEX STRUCTURES AND INDIVIDUALITY. 3D RENDERING SOFTWARE SUCH AS LUMION, SKETCHUP, RHINO, AND VIDEO EDITING HAVE ENABLED OUR STUDENTS TO BRING THEIR DESIGN ASSIGNMENTS TO LIFE BY DEVELOPING THEM IN DIGITAL, BUT REALISTIC ENVIRONMENTS.
