Architecture (Previously Designing the Built Environment)
Course Description
This course combines the talents of Clemson's Architecture and Landscape Architecture departments to help students how to design the built environment. These two design disciplines are critical for improving how we live today, and ensuring that the cities, towns, and natural environments of tomorrow are healthy and sustainable.
