Junior level studio on the design of medium density housing, neighborhood parks and playgrounds. 1989- Social and Cultural Issues in Environmental Design, LA 470. Introduction to the theoretical frameworks and qualitative research methodology in researching cultural landscapes. 1998- Urban Landscape Design, LA 336/438.
