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

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
The Buffalo Bill Historical Center
Cody, Wyoming

September 28 through October 25, 1998
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.

state. Firm visits happen about twice monthly.
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.
