The Landscape Studies program
at Smith, the first in a liberal arts undergraduate college
in the United States, joins architecture, landscape architecture,
landscape history and theory, art, art history, and literature
with the sciences and social sciences to investigate critical
issues.
How is our environment
formed by both human activities and natural processes?
How have landscape architects, horticulturists, engineers,
and urban, regional, and environmental planners reshaped
the spaces in which we live?
How can literature and the visual arts help us to see, understand;
and shape the landscape?
What historical and public policy issues affect landscape
design?
How do our dreams, ideologies, and necessities influence
our actions on the landscape?
What stewardship is needed for us to be both inspired and
sustained by the world around us?
Students study the great
landscapes of history throughout the world, as well as local
communities, to better understand the evolving relationship
of humans to both natural and built environments. Smith’s
long liberal arts tradition of searching for multiple perspectives
informs and enriches its Landscape Studies courses.
