Johanna Barthmaier-Payne is a landscape architect whose work looks at the relationships between urban infrastructure, placemaking and communication around environmental systems and public space design. She is a co-founder of the design practice, A TON, a multidisciplinary design studio in Rhode Island that focuses on landscape, industrial and graphic design within the public realm. Her current research focuses on outreach communication tools and strategic planning around large-scale environmental management and green infrastructure for municipalities, stakeholders and community members.
Barthmaier-Payne graduated with a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania where she was an ASLA Excellence Award recipient. She has worked with internationally renowned offices such as James Corner Field Operations, OLIN and Atelier Jean Nouvel, working on a wide range of projects from concept to construction including The Presidio Tunnel Tops Project in San Francisco, The Seattle Central Waterfront and The Seattle Seawall. She also holds a BFA in Environmental Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art.
This course explores design principles central to landscape architecture. Three interrelated aspects of design are pursued:
1) the elements of composition and their formal, spatial, and tectonic manipulation
2) meanings conveyed by formal choices and transformations
3) interactions of cultural and ecological forces in the landscape.
Estimated Cost of Materials: $250.00

SECTION DESCRIPTION
This course develops the different levels of dexterity and control in the construction of architectural drawing. The pedagogy allows for students to build a basic understanding of orthographic drawing typologies and traditional drawing methods while preparing them for more complex hybridized drawing methods. A parallel segment of the course addresses freehand representation, developing observation and translation tools necessary to design. Through these multiple approaches, drawing is developed as a tool to transform conceptual ideas into tangible form. The class will be taught as a series of lectures that discuss both why and how we draw accompanied by skill building workshops.

SECTION DESCRIPTION
This seminar focuses on the ecology, policy and design of freshwater and coastal systems. Through the study of water from the top of the watershed to the coast, this class focuses on the role of designers and allied professionals in the design and management of the dynamic interface between land and water. Through a multi-scalar approach, students will learn about the impacts of urbanization on water quality and coastal ecosystems, current approaches to the restoration of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, storm water management techniques and calculations, and the impact of climate change on water resources.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Landscape Architecture Students.
