Three precedent studies are to be undertaken regarding landscape design projects of the students choosing. Any landscape or park project may be selected anywhere in the world so long as the work is completed. These precedent studies should examine a project or element of a project that directly relates to the overall concept, materials or approach to the project the student is undertaking in their own work
– A minimum of 3 images of the project that is representative of why the project was chosen
– The name of the project
– The location of the project
– The year the project was completed
– The size of the project
– The name of the design team for the project (this should include all design firms involved)
– A clear description of each project explaining what the project is all about and the reason why you chose the project.
Each student is to submit three precedent studies as a single, 3 page

*Please write 2 different answer for each question (about 140 words each, so total about 280 words)
Marc Kushner sees social media as an important tool to provide feedback in real-time, shortening the distance of the “innovation/symbol” spectrum. What are your thoughts on this, as users of social media? As occupants of the built world? Post a response to the video either to one of the prompts below or something that intrigued you from his Ted Talk:
1. Do you think his argument about social media makes sense in terms of how we now see the built world? What are other ways that technology and/or social media can encourage a more participatory architecture?
2. Do you believe his argument that “it is the end of architectural history”? That “styles” might be gone and now we (architects) will know what you (the public) like and don’t like in design because of immediate feedback. Do you think this is true or not?
3. How do you think the access to instant access to places through social media / internet sources influences the way you see the world? Want to travel? Live or study abroad? See architecture & distant cultures?
You may also write something else that may have come up for you as you watched the video.
You must write a coherently well-written paragraph of 100 words minimum in response to one of the prompts (or any other thought you had on the Ted Talk, these are just some suggested promts)
