Overview

The Landscape Architecture program of University of Pennsylvania offers courses in history and theory, technology (ecology, horticulture, earthwork, construction, and project management), and visual and digital media are synchronized with the studios. Advanced, speculative work takes place in the final year of study, where students may choose from a wide array of studios which fan out around the world. In their final year students may also pursue their own independently conceived research projects.

Key facts:

The faculty is internationally distinguished and provides expertise in design, urbanism, representation, technology, and history and theory. In their research and teaching, faculty specialize in subjects such as advanced digital modeling, global biodiversity, landscape urbanism, urban ecology, form and meaning of design, cultural geography, representation, brownfield regeneration and detail design. In addition, leading practitioners and theorists around the world are regularly invited to lecture, run seminars, or teach advanced studios.
Together with very strong links to the other departments in the School and the wider university the Department is exceptionally well served by talented and committed teachers, each a major authority or emerging voice in the field. Similarly, Penn faculty are renown for the exceptional quality of their built works of landscape architecture, for example; Richard Weller’s National Museum of Australia, James Corner’s Highline and Laurie Olin’s Bryant Park, both in Manhattan.
