Background and Need
A need arose in 2009 to develop a curriculum for landscape architecture students and professors. This need followed from holding several successful workshops with civil engineering professors on introducing a curriculum developed for ICPI by the University of Waterloo civil engineering department in 2006. Since a curriculum for engineering students was created, another was needed for universities teaching landscape architecture. Requests for proposals were then issued and the University of Georgia College of Environment and Design was selected from several. The project was funded by excess sponsor revenue from the 8th International Conference on Concrete Block Paving hosted by the ICPI Foundation in 2006.
