This post is brought to you by UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design. The College of Environmental Design (CED) at UC Berkeley was the first college to combine architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning in one entity. This happened in the 1950s, and throughout the years, students have benefited from CED’s interdisciplinary approaches, as well as the strengths of the college’s individual departments alike.
