This evening event wi ll include studio visits\, a welcome by Dean Marta Gutman\, a program over view by Program Director Catherine Seavitt Nordenson\, a panel discussion with Q&\;A\, and an opportunity for feedback on your portfolio material s.\n\nConfirmed speakers:\n\n Professor Zihao Zhang\n Professor Anna McK eigue '20\n Jessica Goldberg '21\n Mathew Brown '23\n Samuel Syrop '24\ n Hannah Borgeson\, Director of Graduate Affairs\n\nLandscape architectur e plays an essential role in connecting justice to environmental design an d the ecological infrastructures of the urban realm. The mission of the Ma ster of Landscape Architecture Program at the Spitzer School of Architectu re\, City College of New York\, is to prepare students to be leaders in th e field of landscape architecture through innovative research and practice in urban ecological design\, planning\, and policymaking. The program aim s to reimagine and rethink the profession’s current and future challenge s through the lens of social\, environmental\, and multi-species justice\, including rapid urbanization\, resource extraction and management\, the i nterface of nature and technology\, ongoing species extinctions\, and the climate emergency. The curriculum engages critical thinking about complex and indeterminate systems\, empowering students to implement actionable ch ange across multiple scales of the urban landscape.\n\nLandscape architect ure is a discipline that physically transforms the surface of the earth — it literally changes the world and the world’s systemic flows. As de signers and thinkers\, we work with biotic and abiotic networks of human a nd non-human actors. Our discipline also has the capacity to radically ret hink and transform social networks\, and we are especially well-poised to respond to the climate emergency with both mitigation and adaptation strat egies. Our program attracts activist students who seek to rethink accepted paradigms and implement actionable change in the public realm and the qua lity of public space in terms of equity\, accessibility\, and justice: cli mate justice\, social justice\, environmental justice\, and multispecies j ustice. Transforming the profession begins in the academy. Our landscape a rchitecture program is committed to challenging the entrenched biases and historical canons of landscape architecture that have too long been accept ed as the norm\, and we support the clarity and resonance of our students ’ diverse voices in the field.\n\nGraduate programs at the Spitzer Schoo l of Architecture share a transdisciplinary design-research environment of vertical studio laboratories. First-year MLA students enroll in a foundat ion year of coursework addressing design thinking across nature and cultur e while building digital\, technical\, ecological\, and critical-thinking skills. Second-year and third-year MLA students enroll in advanced landsca pe architecture studio laboratories and one co-required course each semest er in which students and professors work synthetically across disciplines for a two-semester engagement with exploratory research and projective des ign. These advanced studio labs and coordinated coursework incorporate des ign research\, advanced digital representation\, and history/theory to add ress “wicked problems” in landscape architecture through extended desi gn thinking. Upper-level students take two additional courses each semeste r that engage with technical\, ecological\, and professional practice topi cs.
