Service Learning

Service learning projects benefit both the student and the client, and by extension the university's positive influence in the state of Colorado. Service learning projects are typically conceptual in nature (with "real" intent) and cause the instructor to become a moderator between student and client, and fellow traveler (learning together) with the student. Service learning projects only happen when students and faculty can benefit in the context of a course or design charrette outside of class time, and when the client receives mutual benefit.

Classroom service learning

1999, LA495AV, Independent Study - Design Project
Woodland Park Elks Club (Martin B., Nguyen H., Goetz B.) conceptual studies, proposal and invited Presentation, February.
The club is a camp for mentally and physically challenged children located in the mountainous terrain near Woodland Park, CO. The base camp and recreation building are located at the mouth of a drainage basin, and below several erosion-related problems. This initial report contained analysis and prototypical solutions that weave into potential events for the campers.

1998, LA240, Fundamentals of Landscape Design Process, with 21 students.
Howard Community Park Design Proposals, Howard, Colorado, proposals and invited presentation, May.
The small community of Howard, Colorado surrounds an open field traditionally used as agricultural land. Organizers of the project asked for ideology about the potential future of the community space. Twenty-one students produced and presented twenty-one different visions for the "park."

1997, LA446, Urban Design, with 23 students.
Loveland Downtown Development, Historic 4th Street design alternatives. Sharon Chase, Downtown Development Authority Director, Loveland, Colorado, proposals and invited presentation, November.
During the Fall term of 1997, the urban design studio participated in design re-development of the original main street in Loveland, CO. The projects were presented and displayed for a public meeting at a major art gallery in Loveland.

Design Charrettes and other non-classroom service learning

1998, Thinking Outside the Box, Southern Colorado Downtown Redevelopment Symposium, Pueblo, Colorado, May.
The following five southern Colorado towns have urban planning and design issues of varying complexity and a range of other associated problems - all wish to enhance their physical character and economy. Each case study resulted in semester long intensive analysis, programming, and design. The proposals were intended to help each community with their individual issues and to be the basis of a broad one-day symposium in Pueblo, CO.

Las Animas Downtown Redevelopment, CO (Sapp, Yost, Goetz), May 1998

Canon City Downtown Redevelopment, CO (Harris, Goetz), May 1998

La Veta Downtown Redevelopment, CO (Weaks, Goetz), May 1998

Monte Vista Downtown Redevelopment, CO (Bartling, Goetz), May 1998

Alamosa Downtown Redevelopment, CO (Jenkins, Mizer, Goetz), May 1998

1997, Triangle Cross Ranch Master Plan, Galeton Colorado, March.
The project was completed as a three-day intensive design charrette at the request of the Board of Directors for the Triangle Cross Ranch. Triangle Cross Ranch is a non-profit organization that houses mentally and physically challenged adults. The proposal included a fully ADA accessible community master plan, several site design solutions, and material and character examples for the existing facilities plus a new community center, two additional housing units, maintenance, new entry and additional parking. The intention of the Triangle Cross Ranch representatives is to use the outcome for guidance with future changes and as an aid during public presentations to raise money.

Refereed Design Works


Design works in landscape architecture often form a conceptual foundation for future writing or other scholarship/artistry, sometimes extending similar subject matter as new research. Jury reports and public commentary enlighten the discipline - and participants - through publications representing the body of work submitted to the initial call for projects/papers. Projects may continue as a line of inquiry and generate several new research topics. Occasionally the framework grows into a lifetime of experimentation with similar issues (i.e. the Broadacre City project by Frank Lloyd Wright).

My research and published work is the foundation and present substance of a life-long landscape project. The desire is to contribute to the disciplinary wealth through exploration and application of theory and representation as a continuum of work (built or unbuilt). For example: the Davids Island project was submitted to the initial competition, became part of several exhibitions, and a catalog, and resulted in further research and a refined project and paper titled Davids Island. The paper is in the process of review for possible publication in Designed Landscape Forum 2, a publication on visionary and unbuilt works of landscape architecture, by Spacemaker Press. For further discussion please see OTHER ACTIVITIES/ACCOMPLISHMENTS, Research Activity below.

PERFORMANCES, EXHIBITS, PRODUCTIONS:

Juried Performances/Exhibits/Productions:

1997, Designing Islands: The Public Future of New York's Archipelago, International call for entries, Exhibition located at Van Alen Institute, Manhattan, New York, Invited Exhibition.
Recently, marginal industrial and military landscapes, generally very large contiguous pieces of land, have become available for new use across the country. Quote from a press release (included in appendix): "The forum's speakers will address the challenge of converting these islands from private and restricted use to mixed, public use." The proposal looks at Davids Island as a prototype for a 21st century landscape - one that does not consume resources, in fact gives some back, and deals with the technological culture of the next century in the context of public land - a public park in the suburbs. The body of work in the competition resulted in several newspaper publications and a booklet.

1997, Davids Island Ideas Afloat Exhibition, International call for entries, Exhibition located at Castle Gallery, College of New Rochelle, New York, Invited Exhibition.
The initial gallery exhibit at the Castle Gallery in New Rochelle, New York, the nearest city to the island, resulted in public review and several newspaper publications about the body of work.

1997 - 1998, Peace Through Unity - Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument Design Competition Traveling Exhibition, International call for entries, Exhibition located at: see below, Invited Exhibition.
This international design competition for a memorial commemorating Native American Indians at the site of the famous battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana was organized to yield a design proposal for installation at the site. 118 entries were chosen to travel around the country with the winning and commended proposals. The following list of cities held public exhibitions over a two-year period:

The Colorado History Museum
Denver, Colorado
March 21 through April 6, 1997

The Mitchell Indian Museum
Evanston, Illinois
September 1 through October 31, 1997

1996, Mill Springs Battlefield Visitors Center and Memorial, International call for entries, Exhibition located at The Old State Capitol, Frankfort, Kentucky, Invited Exhibition.
This international design competition included site planning and design, visitor's center building design, and memorial design, as a unified landscape for the Mill Springs Battlefield Visitors Center. The proposal was an abstract representation of the regional form and character, and ideas of battle and territory to achieve a culturally meaningful and useful organization.

1995, Designing the Inner Fringes of the Greenheart Metropolis: Achtkamp Manifesto, The Netherlands, International call for entries, Exhibition located at The Hague, The Netherlands.
This international design competition consisted of three alternative sites with differing programmatic requirements for the area known as the Greenheart in The Netherlands. All programs were very urban in nature and were to consume traditional agricultural land as new development in the rapidly growing "Greenheart" region of the Netherlands.
The area of Achtkamp Manifesto is situated on the edge of the "Greenheart" and is destined to become a major town and gateway to the highly valued landscape of the Greenheart. Achtkamp Manifesto proposes a landscape/urban place as a metaphor of the culture and previous (native) landscape of the place.

Key Advisor for the Program of Landscape Architecture, May 1998 - present.
The key advisor role includes introducing prospective students/parents to the profession, the program, and the curriculum. It involves an average of 6 - 8 hours per week in individual meetings, phone conversations, and e-mail communication. The position is particularly crucial at times of course registration and during the summer months when transfer students are inquiring about the program.

Faculty Advisor to the Colorado State University Student Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (SCASLA), 1996 -

Advising for the Student Chapter involves several hours of contact time each week with as many as 15 - 20 students coordinating many activities for students and the profession. Two programs we are particularly proud of:

1. The annual Landscape Architecture Days: LA Days is a weeklong celebration of the profession of Landscape Architecture. It includes open forums, an open house, project displays, and is accented with presentations by nationally renowned speakers. Over the past several years we have had some of the most influential designers/teachers in the country speak about landscape architecture to the students, the university, and the public as part of the LA Days celebration.

OTHER ACTIVITIES/ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Off-campus/non-credit courses

LA455, Landscape Architecture Study Abroad, Europe (off-campus). This study abroad course is meant to expand on ones understanding of several important landscape precedents through hands-on experience.

LA120 ON-LINE. The course, History of the Designed Landscape is posted on the internet (originally for student reference) as a draft version of the course subject matter. It is continually changing and being refined, but available to the public via the web.

Scholarly and Creative Activity

Scholarly work in landscape architecture may happen in several appropriate arenas, including (not limited to) teaching, outreach and professional practice. My work in those areas is outlined in detail in other sections of this document.

The creative activity below in the areas of theory and representation is oriented toward the support of teaching undergraduate studios, promoting and extending the body of knowledge in the profession, and educating a public and constituents ordinarily unexposed to the subject of landscape architecture as a cultural discipline. Often the artistry is in the context of organized national and international design competitions. Design competitions seek a range of ideology, including visionary approaches to global issues (for instance human settlement in the coming millennia or environmental responsibility based on contemporary understanding). Competitions present scenarios where the range of proposals is fundamental to the vision of a particular culture (and client), time, and place - in any case they are, in part, the foundations of our past and future built world. Artistic works of the competition realm stand throughout history as unmade visions and made wonders (gardens, buildings, sculptures, paintings, musical scores, etc.). Several prominent and important landscape/cultural contributions resulting from design competitions include: Central Park, New York City (Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux), The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington D.C. (Maya Lin), Parc de la Villette, Paris, France (Bernard Tschumi), and on…

Research sometimes responds to specific or highly specialized areas of a discipline. In an undergraduate teaching environment general problem solving is the most important specialization. Creative activity in design competitions offers a compromise between the generalist and specialist positions, often including both to a very high degree. The research creates a faculty bridge between special topical study and general studio teaching through visual and written scholarly work.

This work is pursued as an ongoing landscape project. The competition projects are chosen to contribute to professional growth as a continuum of landscape theory and representation and build upon one another conceptually.

Design competitions always have winners, and submitters. All participants contribute greatly to public and disciplinary wealth - of understanding and validating landscape/culture issues - and it is the competition event and subsequent exhibitions and publications that significantly extend the body of knowledge.

Competition design projects offer variability in my research. However, there are three constants that I believe are of fundamental value to my craft. History, drawing and photography (not necessarily separate subjects) have been, and continue to be, subjects of great interest for me. The three continuing research projects precede other citations in the listings here because of their broad implications toward successful study and practice of landscape architecture.

Web Publication

Modern technology offers an interesting scenario for the traditional sequence of publication and dissemination of information. Where traditionally a topic needed to undergo subjective processes (sometimes lengthy) before public review, the internet now offers immediate publication and response. We know that information technology has changed the way we live but we have not seen where this technology and its immediacy will take teaching, research, and service activities of the traditional university (theoretically the leaders) or for that matter the rest of the global population.

The web has been described by some as the ultimate democratic medium, allowing rapid publication of writing, music, imagery, etc. The global implications of the technology further enhance its opportunity for the future. My computer and internet research and publication is in anticipation of that future.
