风景园林学学士

在科罗拉多州立大学学习景观建筑是一次冒险。参加具有挑战性的学习课程，学生将为在巨大潜力才刚刚被人们认识到的领域中的职业做好准备。风景园林专业的学生学习设计时，就像造accomplished出色的风景园林师所看到的：塑造空间以及规划和保存它们。景观设计师必须分析场地的自然元素，包括气候，土壤，土地坡度，排水，阳光和植被。计算机辅助设计（CAD）已成为景观设计师的必备工具。景观设计师经常与建筑设计师，测量师，工程师和城市规划师合作，并与环境科学家，林务员和其他专业人员合作，以找到保存或恢复自然资源的最佳方法。
Studying Landscape Architecture at CSU is an adventure. Taking part in a challenging course of study, students prepare themselves for careers in a field whose enormous potential has only begun to be recognized. Landscape Architecture students study design as accomplished landscape architects see it: shaping spaces as well as planning and preserving them.<br><br>Landscape architects lead the stewardship, planning, and design of built and natural environments. Throughout the program, emphasis is on the relationship between design, nature, and society: the impact of environments on the individual as well as the impact of users on the environment. Registration laws for landscape architects in 49 states encourage graduation from programs such as that offered at CSU, which is accredited by the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board of the American Society of Landscape Architects.<br><br>Landscape architects must analyze the natural elements of a site including the climate, soil, slope of the land, drainage, sunlight, and vegetation. Computer-aided design (CAD) has become an essential tool for landscape architects. Landscape architects often work with building architects, surveyors, engineers, and urban planners and collaborate with environmental scientists, foresters, and other professionals to find the best way to conserve or restore natural resources. Knowledge of appropriate local, state, or federal regulations such as those protecting wetlands or historic resources is essential.<br><br>Nature, culture, form, and space are the classic elements of landscape architecture with which students work in a series of design studies and related courses. Coursework focuses on a variety of landscape projects that grow more complex as the curriculum proceeds. The courses include subjects such as site design, landscape design and construction, surveying, landscape ecology, and urban and regional planning. Other courses specific to the major are history of the designed landscape, plant and soil science, geology, and professional practice. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of summer travel courses available to study highly-valued ecological/cultural sites in Colorado and designed landscapes in Europe.
