RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Inside the Service Learning Studio in Urban Design JF Landscape Journal FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 166 OP 178 DO 10.3368/lj.18.2.166 VO 18 IS 2 A1 Forsyth, Ann A1 Lu, Henry A1 McGirr, Patricia YR 1999 UL http://lj.uwpress.org/content/18/2/166.abstract AB 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.
