Abstract

Traditionally landscape architecture education has used the design studio as the core of its curriculum in which students learn through the master-apprentice model. This paper discusses an alternative teaching model, community service learning, in which students learn from multiple sources while providing a service to disadvantaged communities. Based on the results of two undergraduate urban design studios that used the service learning model, a case study approach is used to evaluate the role of community service learning in low-income and ethnically-diverse neighborhoods. It argues that service learning studios can help landscape architecture students learn the skills necessary to work in an increasingly complex and multi-cultural context.
