NEW Continuing Education Course for Spring
Infrastructure, Natural Systems, and the Space of Inhabited Landscapes or, How Do I Know If My Work Is Truly Sustainable?
The words ‘sustainable’, ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable design’ represent a concept that is widely acclaimed and, even more widely, claimed to be followed. Yet the concept is ill-defined and inherently subjective in nature.
This class, drawn from a semester course in the CDes, will explore the philosophical and theoretical bases of sustainability as a construct in an attempt to develop a working personal definition that will guide our work as practitioners in the design professions.

Building Bridges That Are More Than Bridges: What Does The I-35 Bridge Rebuild Project Teach About Urban Design?
This course considers the I 35W bridge rebuilding project as a case study of the opportunities and challenges in contemporary urban design. After a brief overview of the project and its background, the class will examine design issues such as compatibility with the Mississippi River, “fit” of the bridge to the surrounding urban fabric, and contexts of politics and funding that affect design projects. We will focus on clarifying the complex and tangled issues that the current project poses for all designers in the urban milieu.
