Landscape Design Group Project

Lesson Plan

Audience: Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students

Creator Name: Dr. Nick Jordan

This document outlines a group project wherein undergraduate or graduate students use PEWI to create and compare four landscape designs. Students are asked to submit a detailed project report discussing multifunctional benefits within their designs and how their land-use scenarios may be viewed by diverse stakeholder groups. To provide background and a theoretical foundation, the project utilizes Atwell, R. C., L. A. Schulte, and L. M. Westphal. 2011.
