NRE 688 Site Planning and Design Site Planning and Design is a studio class that involves problem based learning. During the winter semester of second year, Landscape Architecture graduate students engage in several projects intended to challenge their developing design, planning, and engineering skills. This intensive studio meets three times a week for a total of 8 hours per week. While the projects change each year and often mirror actual projects underway in the local area, last year’s projects included in-fill development in a Detroit neighborhood and redesign of Ann Arbor’s Farmers’ Market. In Winter 2004, students developed landscape plans for a local co-housing development, design an urban plaza in Washington, DC (with Lisa Delpace, principal from Oehme, van Sweden was co-instructor), and created master plans for Wayne County’s Bennett Arboretum.
