Course General Description

Architecture (buildings), landscape (spaces between buildings), and interiors (spaces within buildings) organize and shape the contexts for all our activities and relations. As a student in this unique, multidisciplinary program, you will study all three of these design fields within a single, sequential curriculum that focuses on design supported by technology and theory courses. At the core of the curriculum are six comprehensive studios, five of which address potential real-world projects sited in Los Angeles and other cities. Support courses present the materials and methods of building, landscape, and interior construction; physical and digital communication skills and media; and the history and theory of spatial design.
