地理哲学博士-景观建筑与环境设计

景观建筑和环境设计关系到人与环境之间的关系。通常，这通过物理，日常环境的规划，设计和使用来体现。但是，由于设计是在物质世界中表达的人类意图，因此中心重点是社会如何在不同尺度上塑造自然景观。景观建筑和环境设计被视为互动和动态的过程，彼此相互影响。对这些过程的分析需要跨文化，生态，政策，经济学和历史等众多领域的知识基础。对跨学科探究和理解的赞赏是定义LAED集中度的共同线索。LAED的研究生水平研究的一些示例包括使用地理信息科学方法进行景观格局分析，高级设计和规划，景观和场所的历史和文化研究以及公民参与中先进
Landscape architecture and environmental design concern the relationship between people and their environment. Typically, this is manifested through the planning, design, and use of the physical and everyday environment. However, as design is human intent expressed in the material world, a central focus is how society shapes the physical landscape across different scales. Landscape architecture and environmental design is seen as an interactive and dynamic process where each informs the other. Analyses of these processes require a knowledge base in areas as diverse as culture, ecology, policy, economics, and history, among others areas. An appreciation for interdisciplinary inquiry and understanding is a common thread that defines the LAED concentration. Some examples of graduate-level study in LAED include analyses of landscape patterns using methods in geographic information science, design and planning at advanced levels, historical and cultural studies of landscapes and places, and the development of advanced methods and techniques in citizen participation.
