About this course:

Students build upon drafting, lettering, and drawing techniques learned in Design Graphics 1. As the second class in the series, it also concentrates on the graphic conventions for site analysis, conceptual design, design process and measured plan, perspective, and section elevations as they relate to the field of landscape architecture and professional standards. All work product is developed from the Tongva Park site used in Design Graphics 1, located in Santa Monica. At the end of this course, students make an oral presentation to the instructor and visiting guests. The students present a package of work product that includes hand drafting and colored rendering of a conceptual site plan; section/elevations and perspective vignettes; and graphic package of progress drawings, including site analysis graphics, design concept studies, and a final design concept with supporting design elements.
