Designing for Fire

Initially established in 1924 and later revitalized under the leadership 
of Professor Ian McHarg in the 1960s, the University of Pennsylvania School of Design's Department of Landscape 
Architecture and Regional Planning is recognized around the world for 
its pioneering contributions to ecological planning and design. Today, 
the Department advances this legacy through its commitment to innovative
 design as informed by ecology, the history of ideas, techniques of 
construction, new media, and contemporary urbanism.
