This survey course will introduce contemporary design in China through landscape and related design fields such as art, fashion, graphic, industrial, stage, film and furniture design. Students will be exposed to issues of culture, technology, consumption, the environment, rapid urbanization, and other contemporary or historic forces in China that shape the contemporary landscapes and related creative practices.  Students engage with leading Chinese designers in each of the fields and study relevant contemporary projects to determine how issues of Chinese identity and community are being expressed and developed.  This helps students to broaden their understanding of landscape design and introduces them to a wide range of new subjects, materials and techniques that can be used to inspire innovation and creativity in landscape design.  Some topics include: the appropriation of the theories and symbolism of the Chinese garden tradition in contemporary landscape design; and landscape design in response to contemporary urban, environmental, economic, political and cultural forces in China.  Coursework assessment comprises technical research studies, site visit reports, and written papers (up to 5,000 words).

Assessment:       100% continuous coursework assessment
