New York is one of the most exciting cities in North America with respect to contemporary urban landscape architecture: featuring a broad range of built works including infrastructural installations, parks of all sizes, memorial venues, as well as major urban rehabilitation projects, this field course aims to illustrate the role that landscape architecture continues to play in the development of the city.  Intended for students from SUNY ESF, Syracuse University and others universities as well, this intensive field course will consider a broad array of contemporary landscape interventions across the city, from Manhattan, Governors Island, and Brooklyn, to Queens and Staten Island.  


The course centers around a 7 day field trip to New York City.  Beginning on Monday, May 12th, and from 9am-6pm daily, the group will meet for a full week of intensive touring across the city.  Each tour / day is arranged as a thematic transect across the city: stops will include key landscape sites, exhibits and interpretive centers and will feature encounters with some of the leading landscape firms active in the city.  In addition, one free day will be made available for students to visit installations selected among a pre-determined list of possible sites.  Students will blog daily materials (text, images, film, sound) about their experiences around the city.
