Architecture and landscape architecture are the context for civic life. In an age of increasingly rapid technological and social change, these fields forge connections between our past and our future.

At Northeastern University, we connect specific problem solving inherent to architectural and landscape architectural understanding with the larger context of contemporary cities.
