The courses in Professional Practice are linked as a two-part sequence across fourth and fifth semester. Professional Practice II expands on the first-hand engagement with design projects gained in Part I, by advancing the drawing standards particular to construction documentation and administration. This course prepares students for professional practice in pre-construction design implementation, translating between design intent, actual linework and the limits of site engineering. In an era of climate change, this course will take particular focus on the evolution of standards over time, and the benefits or drawbacks of standard construction details versus custom build-outs. This course is an essential aspect of licensure and prepares students for a career in landscape architecture.
