Landscape Architecture

Landscape Architecture is the design of outdoor areas, landmarks, and structures to achieve environmental, social-behavioral, or aesthetic outcomes. Coursera's Landscape Architecture catalogue teaches you about this interdisciplinary field, blending art and science to design attractive, functional and sustainable outdoor spaces. You'll learn everything from site analysis, historic preservation, and environmental planning to urban design, and public space planning. Further, you'll gain knowledge to design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails, plazas, and even entire communities, understanding the environmental context, cultural history, and design vision to create sustainable and aesthetically-pleasing landscapes.
