In this interactive seminar, you will develop a personal code of ethics that can guide your work as you begin your professional career. You will learn about the sociology of professional practice, as well as the current environmental and social delimmas that are redefining practice. The course will be especially useful if you have some work experience and are questioning how to apply the values gained during your academic studies in the marketplace. Students enrolled in Landscape Architecture and Urban Design and Planning are encouraged to enroll. Your team will generate alternative urban design schemes that create a safe, pedestrian environment throughout the Admiral Residential Urban Village, with a detailed focus on the design of California Avenue SW between Admiral and Stevens.
Students can participate through an assigned studio or independently.
Faculty and practicing professionals will serve as consultants. West Seattle High School students and a UW student will work on a special project with consultants from Gensler Architects. The charrette culminates with a community presentation, followed by a digital publication, with possible construction in the 2001-2002 academic year. Students in all disciplines are invited to enroll.
