Note: The Landscape Architecture Program does not support AutoCAD on the Mac. All CAD courses are fast-paced and complex; absence from any meeting is discouraged. The courses require at least three hours of computer work outside of class per week. Lab hours are not available; therefore, students must have access to their own hardware and software for the courses in which they enroll. Laptops are required for certain courses; check individual course descriptions for specifics.
FREE SOFTWARE AND SOFTWARE LICENSES Certificate students may download AutoCAD for free upon proof of student status and may be eligible for academic rates on other software for their home computer. Prices and restrictions are subject to change. Software versions should reflect the version used in class as an older version may not possess the same interface or tools demonstrated in class. Each student must verify that his/her computer meets the software’s minimum system requirements. For more information call (310) 825-9414.

Elective Courses Urban Food Production
X 489.6 Biology 4 units The production, packaging, and transportation of food are large contributors to our global carbon emissions. Throughout the Los Angeles basin, food gardens have sprung up producing local healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables while contributing energy and financial savings in difficult economic times. Using the history and current practices of growing food in the city as a template, this course explores how urban grown food reduces food budgets, encourages food sovereignty while addressing environmental concerns. Participants are each given a small plot for growing food where they can experiment with new ideas and enjoy their harvest. Topics include fruit trees, vegetables, and berries that do well in our climate as well as often overlooked foodproducing perennials. We address pitfalls, challenges and practical answers to growing food in modern city lots where the “back 40” describes square feet and not acres.

Building a Garden Ecology with California Natives
X 499.3A Biology 4 units This service learning course helps gardeners and landscape architecture students of all levels understand the beauty and value of using our California natives in a garden setting. There are many myths about California natives: they are difficult, need lots of attention and maintenance. Is this true? No! We explore the ecological and logistical values of bringing local native plants and other ecosystem services back into urban landscapes. We learn, by doing, how to design and install a California native garden, focusing on the concepts of Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Garden Program: conservation, permeability, and retention. In collaboration with SELVA International and the Surfrider Foundation. Elective course for the Landscape Architecture Certificate; elective course for the Sustainability Certificate.
