TY - JOUR T1 - Inside the Service Learning Studio in Urban Design JF - Landscape Journal SP - 166 LP - 178 DO - 10.3368/lj.18.2.166 VL - 18 IS - 2 AU - Ann Forsyth AU - Henry Lu AU - Patricia McGirr Y1 - 1999/09/21 UR - http://lj.uwpress.org/content/18/2/166.abstract N2 - 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. ER -
