PEM 501E - Project I

Course Objectives

Let students understand the value of a virtual landscape as a design domain for landscape architects in the near future.

Course Description

Currently, multiple labs and individuals in the landscape architecture domain are trying to adopt virtual landscape-related technology to enhance the quality and efficiency of real space landscape design. However, not only as a visualization or simulation tool, but the virtual landscape can be a new design domain by itself. With the advance in computer technology, the industry, such as the digital game industry, is starting to seek landscape architects and architects who can design a virtual environment, and we all need to prepare ourselves. Therefore, in the class, we will study various cases related to virtual landscapes and design a landscape within digital games.
