The Capstone Experience \u2013 Class of 2025!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Capstone course is the ultimate test drive into the world of professional practice \u2014 where students take everything they\u2019ve learned and channel it into a bold, self-directed design project. It\u2019s not just a class; it\u2019s the big stage where site selection, analysis, programming, conceptualization, and vision all come together in one powerful final design proposal.

This year, the 2025 Capstone Class<\/strong> went above and beyond, producing projects that are as innovative as they are inspiring. From local sites in Los Angeles to ideas stretching beyond, each project proves the creativity, resilience, and passion of this graduating cohort.

Under the expert mentorship of Professors Meg Coffee<\/strong>, students pushed themselves to new heights \u2014 researching, analyzing, designing, and reimagining landscapes with heart and vision.
The results?
Oral presentations that wowed the room.
Beautifully crafted Capstone books that capture every detail: site analysis, design process, big ideas, final solutions, and stunning renderings.
A collection of work that doesn\u2019t just meet the bar \u2014 it raises it.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations, Class of 2025! You\u2019ve turned knowledge into action, and action into design that will inspire for years to come. <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
