July 2-August 10, 2012 Course Description "Thank
you for a productive and very creative summer. Everyone was always by
our side, more than willing to offer a helping hand and a useful piece
of advice. Couldn't have made it without your guidance!" The [IN]LAND program introduces students to the different scales and aspects of landscape architecture and environmental planning. "People and Processes" describes the overall theme for the program, in which we investigate how to evince and design for social and natural processes in the urban environment. The six-week program is divided into two studio projects. Project sites are located within the San Francisco Bay Area so that we can visit them.
This course will also develop your foundation skills across a variety of medium between analog and digital production from photo editing, portfolio making, and digital form-finding. See highlights from [IN]LAND student portfolios. Academic Lead
Andrea Gaffney is an award-winning urban designer, also known as a "jack-of-all-trades." She received a bachelor's degree in architecture with a minor in photography from Cornell University and a Master of Landscape Architecture and City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley, and has since worked as an architect, photographer, and urban designer in various cities and capacities. She has rappelled down buildings documenting for safety inspections, taught photography to inner-city youth in the Bronx, worked as a photojournalist in Nashville and Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, facilitated a community-based vision plan for Downtown Nashville and designed a heap of housing in the Boston area. She switched to the left coast to pursue studies in the integration of sustainable and ecological principles within urban design. She now enjoys her academic and professional landscape urban design career in the Bay Area. Philosophy I thrive at the confluence of the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, city/regional planning, and urban design. It is through this thick approach to landscape that I enjoy teaching others. I believe integrated infrastructure can be a primary mechanism for addressing environmental justice issues in the public realm, and it is from this perspective that I pursue different avenues of research.

Throughout
the program, field trips will enhance understanding of the studio
projects. The media course complements the studio course by allowing
students to develop their representation skills, both hand (analog) and
digital. The lecture series consists of professors and practicing
professionals, who will expose the students to the wide variety of
professional and academic avenues that can be taken within the
disciplines of landscape architecture and environmental planning. A
weekly section meets to discuss the lecture and reading assignments,
allowing students to develop their skills of critical discussion and
knowledge sharing.
