Designing land-based projects that are sustainable can be challenging with the numerous issues involved, including rising land costs, conservation factors and energy concerns.
A key goal of this course – taught by Penn State geodesign and landscape architecture professor Kelleann Foster – is to expose a broad group of participants to the exciting possibilities inherent in geodesign, a process has evolved over nearly 40 years and now combines the core concepts of design thinking with the latest in geo-spatial technologies.
