This course will introduce students to the ways in which human design decisions – of landscapes, cities, and buildings – can promote a wide variety of sustainability goals. Through explorations of landscape architecture, urban design, and building certification standards, among other areas, students will learn how human health, social equity, economic vitality, and ecological vibrancy can all be dramatically improved based on the investments we make in our designed environment. Field trips and guest lecturers will bring students into contact with practitioners in many of these fields. The course will include projects connected to the Goshen community (College, City, and region). Prerequisite: SUST 201 or similar course approved by the instructor. Offered in even-year spring semesters.
