This course will increase education and awareness about the regional sites of Trail of Tears with a focus on
choreographed sensory experiences that encourage on-site engagement and interactive understanding. Students
will develop comprehensive design strategies that draw upon the concept of the memorial landscape, applicable
to the physical memory places along the Native American displacement route (strategies to address both nodes
where historic events took place and the connecting linear routes of passage). Trail of Tears Commemorative
Landscapes will offer students a case study through which they will apply various theoretical and conceptual
lessons introduced in the seminar (focus on sensory perception and the interactive landscape memorial). They will
explore the potential and limitations of architecture, landscape architecture, and installations to communicate with
an intended audience and better understand how history and culture may affect design
