On Campus   More than ever, the world needs landscape architects—more informed, more innovative, more critically involved landscape architects. Globally, the complex urbanization of populations and strain on the environment and natural resources continues to escalate. Locally, the organization, reclamation, and understanding of our cities require the vitality, imagination, managerial sophistication, and compelling design vision of the landscape architect. Among the design professions, landscape architects are assuming leadership roles in transforming conditions of crisis to promise, neglect to value, banality to poetry. The Program of Landscape Architecture at IIT is driven by these needs and aspirations. Chicago is the active synthesis of the urban and the natural. Geographically it is positioned in dramatic poise within the Great Lakes Basin, where twenty percent of the world's fresh water supply is not only a natural resource but an economic catalyst in the development of the city. Chicago is the birthplace of the only genuine American landscape aesthetic—the Prairie School Landscape. The city also enjoys the foresight of a world-class park system sponsored by the 1893 Columbian Exposition, as well as the world-renowned Chicago Botanic Garden. Furthermore, the city itself has publicly embraced an action-oriented campaign in current landscape revitalization and environmental goals—Millennium Park, Chicago Green Roof and Sustainability Initiatives, to name but a few. Locally, the IIT campus offers an invigorating combination of pioneering early modern landmarks to study in and learn from.
