Start off April -- World Landscape Architecture Month -- with inspired design. Landscape Architect and Visual Artist Preston Montague teaches this asynchronous fundamentals class that introduces participants to design principles, site assessment and planning, among other topics. Gain a better understanding of what comes into play in creating and managing sustainable and aesthetically appealing landscapes. You will come away empowered to be more creative, instinctive, decisive and purposeful in understanding good design and more adept at recognizing what’s not. The course includes two learning modules accessed online (asynchronous) along with an opportunity for live (synchronous) and lively discussion with the instructor and other participants.
