This is a student project by Nicholas Gotthardt from Autumn 2009. The assignment was to capture the sequence of Glen Echo's stream along a chosen transect. This series attempts to depict the stream's edge conditions - gabian walls, natural embankments and stone retaining walls - and how these elements in confluence the flow of the creak. --Nicholas Gotthardt In the first year students are introduced to basic and advanced techniques of design and representation. Students explore landscape architectural design at the site scale with an emphasis on environmental contexts, site systems and natural/human communities.~root~>
