Description
Put into practice the course "An introduction to What's Out There." What’s Out There is the only searchable, GPS-enabled database that is easy-to-navigate. It was designed to raise public awareness of the rich diversity and interconnectedness of our shared designed landscape heritage. Spanning over two centuries of North American landscape design, the What’s Out There® database is searchable by landscape name, locale, designer, type and style. This lecture will present the database, its data dictionary, style and type classification prior to reconnaissance work by the students. The lecture, in a practical and hands on way puts into action the strategies and methodologies for research, documentation and analysis of the cultural landscapes and site visits that will follow.
