large-scale site features, all while considering many factors, ranging from the ecological, geologic, hydrologic, to socio-economic, and the political with community/stakeholder engagement.

The studio features a multi-day field trip to the Salton Sea for fieldwork, visiting mud volcanos, Bombay Beach, Slab City, walking on millions of barnacle shells, drawing, photographing, hands-on-designing, engaging the local communities and stakeholders, and experiencing the sublime. Our field trip base camp is UC Irvine’s Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center, https://anzaborrego.ucnrs.org/ that has a group kitchen, comfortable bunk beds, hot showers, Wi-Fi, a large common area, and more.

Salton Sea Context Today, the sea is a zombie, dead, dying, or still vibrant depending on who you ask. Inflow to the sea is laden with toxic selenium, arsenic, pesticides and fertilizers from the fields of Imperial Valley. This brew creating periodic algae blooms and massive fish-kills, exacerbated by increasing salinity (it is now saltier than the ocean), where only the toughest Tilapia survive (for now). Dropping water levels from decreasing inflow are revealing massive mudflats crusted by toxic salts that are easily lofted into dust storms – contributing to health problems for the surrounding communities.

Projects Detailed instructions will be distributed via blackboard for each project.

This studio will be operating where the mud meets the sky, as we delve deeply into the problem of particulate pollution and deploy landscape mitigation tactics that embrace the ecological and the cultural.

We also explore the limits of drawing technology to choreography the making of the landforms by imagining the choreography of large earthmovers, bulldozers, excavators, and other machines to create patterns that mitigate dust and establish new habitats.

We kick off the studio by drawing ephemera phenomena: wind, sound, temperature, and smells as a means to attune you senses to the non-visual aspects of the landscape.

We then shift to exploring parametric tools that use algorithms to choreograph patterns and landforms using the Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino 3D. Grasshopper offers sophisticated visual scripting by linking blocks and inputting parameters with various sliders. 3d fabrication (CNC milling, laser cutting or 3d printing) will be used for creating the final presentation model.

Over the next decade, the Salton Sea Authority will be constructing at least 29,800-acres (46.5 square miles!!!) of new habitat, dust mitigation, water management ponds, and reclaimed agricultural areas on newly exposed playa. Of this vast opportunity, our final projects will focus on designing a smaller swath of playa around Red Hill Bay.

Disciplinary + Theoretical Context Essential to your success in landscape architecture is the ability to define and specify complex parameters for the design of landscape systems (cultural, ecological, economic, and technical). This meta-cognitive ability is what distinguishes the 21st century discipline from early theories and practices (beyond McHargian analysis-for-analysis-sake, or Burle Marx and Eckbo’s Mid-20th Century painterly approach to composition). Contemporary theories such as Landscape Urbanism, Ecological Urbanism, and Biomimicry, all rely on understanding and manipulating systems in the physical world along with cultural and economic systems. Designing systems allows you to establish frameworks, rules, relationships, and connections without worrying about every spot on the site – this approach enables the key concepts of projects to remain intact – even if the parameters shift - through the long gestation (5 to 20 years) that public projects undergo.

Second in importance to the professional demand of creating places that work, is creating places that have a cultural resonance - the poetic. Without perceived cultural value, large swaths of our arid western landscape are overlooked and ignored – leading to blight, neglect, abuse, exploitation, and destruction of irreplaceable natural resources. Creating cultural meanings through rational analysis and design processes is all but impossible – the poetic relies on creativity, cognitive leaps, embracing the irrational and the intuitive, of finding latent forces that shape a place, of working across physical and temporal scales, of difference, the incomplete, and the unexpected. Poetics of a place require defining genius loci, finding the authentic, the differences and commonalities, and challenging banality and mediocrity (the later are often more profitable and easier to get approval for the lowest common denominator).

Landscape Architecture’s ability to imbue cultural meaning into places is what differentiates our profession from civil engineering, ecological restoration, and urban and regional planning. Creating performative landscapes, where the eco-technical systems work together with cultural poetics is what distinguishes us from land artists and garden designers (who primarily work in the cultural realm).

Mastering the design of eco-technical systems is key to addressing sustainability, adaptation, and resilience for our cities. However, achieving a more sustainable future requires deploying sophistication cultural tactics too. Reducing resource consumption must not be seen as a sacrifice, but as enhancing the quality of life. This is where the poetics play an essential role.

The Group, the Public, the Community Long distance engagement of the community surrounding the Salton Sea will be a challenge from our studio in Pomona. That said, the internet makes it possible to lay the groundwork to effectively connect with local groups and individuals during our field trip – it is up to each of you to define a constituency and demographic you wish to engage.

Your field work and outreach, together with the thousands of comments submitted over the past decade that have shaped the Salton Sea Management Plan, will be our primary data set for evaluating the community’s and other stakeholder’s wishes.

COURSE COMPONENTS + ORGANIZATION Material in this course will be presented in the form of readings, class discussions, lectures, student presentation and guest presentations. This course aims to create a collaborative learning environment in which students can engage in the issues critical to the topic of the course.

Studios<>Classes Material in this course will take the form of readings, class discussions, lectures, on-line resources, public meetings, field trips, student presentation and guest lectures. The intent of this course is to facilitate learning through multiple means of providing learning opportunities and practice in professional activities, critical thinking, design, and community engagement.

This studio aims to create a collaborative learning environment in which students can engage in the issues critical to the topic of the studio in a safe and nurturing setting.

Presentations Scheduled informal ‘desk crits’ and ‘pin-ups’ and formal presentations will provide you with feedback from your instructors, guests and peers. It is essential that you provide feedback to each other in class and outside of class meeting times as a means to practice critical thinking.

A sketchbook/critique journal is required as a dedicated place to record ideas, instructions, assigned tasks, and questions. For each round of desk crits, you must prepare a list of questions about your project. These questions will be used to help craft your work plan and guide your design process.

Attendance is required for the entire duration of the mid-review and final presentations. Late arrivals or leaving early from these reviews will be penalized – see the attendance section for details. All work needs to be submitted prior to the review per the assignment instructions.

Field Trip[s] The studio requires a week-long field trip to the Salton Sea – see Blackboard for trip specifics.

Model Shop Certification Participants will need to be model shop certified within the first two weeks of the start of each term.

The ENV Model Shop is located in Bldg. 45, room 103. A mandatory Safety Exam is required before access to the Model Shop is allowed based on the information provided in the Online Study Guide.

EVALUATION OF STUDENT WORK Individual assignments and projects in LA5121L will be either pass/fail or evaluated for conceptual merit, execution, and personal development. Grades for collaborative work will factor in the creative and graphic qualities of the collective work, leadership and collaboration, individual contributions, and creative development.

Weighting and Grades: Grades will be weighted per the percentages listed in the project overview on page 5 of the syllabus. The following policies regarding evaluation of work are in effect for LA5121L:

• Late work will not be accepted – work must be completed for the presentations, however… • All assignments can be revised and resubmitted for re-evaluation until the end-of-the-term

submission deadline. • Grades for projects will not be posted until ALL required deliverables are submitted to

Blackboard using the specified file format, file naming convention, files are optimized to be smaller than the stated maximum file size.

• Final grade will be not be submitted without complete documentation of student work, and submission of work to the ENV website.

• Overall weighting of any assignment/project may be revised to accommodate changes to the assigned course work, schedule, or other factors.

• Grades posted to Blackboard are unofficial and may be retroactively changed by the instructor at a later date without warning or notification. Final grade submitted may vary from the tally of grades on Blackboard.

Evaluation of assignments will consider the following criteria in addition to the specified rubric:

• Refinement and iterative development of the concept(s). • Clarity, accuracy, and inventiveness of solutions and visualization. • Individual progress and growth. • Quality of graphics and verbal presentations. • Completeness and professional appearance of assignments.

The following is the grading system for the University and the system that is in effect for this course:

A Superior Work: Indicates originality and independent work and a thorough mastery of the subject matter/skill; achievement so outstanding that it is normally attained only by students doing truly exemplary work.

B Good Work: Indicates clearly better than adequate competence in the subject matter/skill; achievement of quality higher than adequate, but not of exemplary quality. [B- is not a passing grade in the MLA Program]

C [Less than] Adequate Work: Indicates that classroom work, outside assignments, and examinations have been completed at a level [below required MLA] competence in the subject matter/skill; not a passing grade in the MLA Program.

D [Not] Acceptable Work: Indicates meetings the minimum requirements of the course, but at a level far below required MLA competence in the subject matter/skill; not a passing grade.

F Unacceptable Work: Indicates achievement that fails to meet the minimum requirements of the course and is clearly below university quality; not a passing grade.

+ marks are given for grades between: x6.67 and x9.99, full grade: x3.34 to x6.66, and minus marks for: x0.0 to x3.33.

CPPLA requires MLA students to earn a minimum grade of "B" in order to progress on to the next courses in the sequence, as every course in the Master of Landscape Architecture program has a prerequisite grade of B in the course prior in the curriculum.

Attendance Attendance is expected as full-participation provides the greatest return on your educational investment. Missing class imposes a self-inflicted penalty*, so please make sure to arrive on time and stay the entire session. While there will be a standard structure to most studio sessions, the instructor is known for launching into extemporaneous allocutions at any point during class that address common issues – you don’t want to miss these. So, please avoid leaving to get food during the middle of studio (which is unprofessional), plan on caffeinating and fueling your belly before or after.

Please inform the instructor about any planned absences ahead time. If you are sick or encounter a serious issue (family emergency, car breakdown, et cetera), please email the instructor as soon as possible about the situation. Social engagements and work do not qualify as “serious”, thus will not be excused or tolerated.

* The instructor reserves the right to penalize excessive absences or a pattern of missing significant chunks of studio for non-serious causes, including issuing a failing grade for the semester.

COURSE STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, students will be introduced to the following student learning outcomes:

Critical Thinking • Demonstrate critical thinking skills and creatively apply them to resolve ecological, social and

spatial problems, while advancing current disciplinary concerns within the context of environmental design.

Professional Responsibility • Show a sense of responsibility, integrity and ethical concern as related to ecological, social, and

cultural issues related to the professional practice of landscape architecture.

Design Foundations • Demonstrate a strong understanding of design theory, history and methods of communication
