This class will cover various readings and discuss inspiring regionalist essays by architects, landscape architects, philosophers, and others in order to shape a set of beliefs (an ideology) that can productively inform the student's trajectory as a creative designer. Students will learn how regionalism makes the life of a designer more interesting and fulfilling as new regional influences in diverse areas are absorbed and become continuing fodder for personal growth and creativity through a long career. Prerequisite: "C" or better in UDES 2441, ARCH 2551, or approved equivalent. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 and a minimum major course(s) GPA of 2.8. Department consent.
