UW College of Built Environments
Department of Landscape Architecture
Green New Deal
Adopting the city into Climate Change
Implementing projects in support of the GND will require new ways of thinking about and representing climate change and adaptation. Participation and collaboration of landscape architecture in GND project work can improve outcomes.
WHAT DO WE DO?
NOW OR NEVER
The primary focus of this studio is to create ‘shovel ready’ design projects for Washington State that
​
1) Decarbonize,
2) Create small businesses and job opportunities and 3) Support social and ecological justice/democracy.
In addition to providing visionary leadership around topics of the GND, this course will ask students to remove themselves as ‘the designer’ and instead, facilitate skills incorporative design progress, including compromise, communication, listening, inclusion, collaboration, and compassion.
For first couple of weeks of the course, students examined national and local historical New Deal contexts and relevant policy, science and social theory related to the Green New Deal today. In class we will progress critical thinking and representation of these themes as it relates to advancing the goals of the Green New Deal. For all of your work it will be as important to consider your desired audience as it will be to consider the design elements themselves.
