Selected Works of Bambi L Yost

Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture

I am currently working on my doctorate in design and planning. My research focuses on inner-city youth's perceptions of natural spaces in urban places. I have two masters degrees, one in landscape architecture and the other in urban and regional planning. My teaching interests are numerous but I prefer teaching community-based service-learning courses, drawing and graphic representation classes, and sustainability & design related courses. Other particular areas of interest include watershed and landscape ecology, eco-revelatory design, psychogeographic installations, and sculpture.
