Description
This course explores the ways in which culture fosters specific ideas about “Nature.” Particular attention is given to representation of ideas toward Nature in the arts and the built environment. The intent is to provide students with a framework for understanding and articulating the complex relationship between nature and culture, and a foundation for integrating this understanding into their own work as designers. Skills in critical thinking, essay writing, and discussion are extended and evaluated. The course considers a wide range of perspectives on the topic.
