- Abstract : AN OUTLINE FROM INTERNET: Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning explains why design professors (primarily in the landscape architecture field) should teach ecology as a standard part of their courses and provides examples from professors who already teach ecology and design in this way. More academics are beginning to understand the need to teach students about ecology in the design fields, but materials to facilitate that teaching are lacking. Some professors give up due to lack of support from academic institution, resistance from students, and/or lack of materials. Although academics are beginning to see the importance of this approach, there are few books available on this subject.
