Area of Specialization

I have a passion for land. In more specific terms, 我热衷于土地和水资源,热衷于帮助人们做出更好的利用决策. 我以两种方式实现这种激情:(1)在土地利用/景观规划方面进行研究和推广;(2)向未来的规划者和设计师传授生态系统以及有关使用和管理决策中固有的相关复杂性.

Both rural and urban land use questions interest me, 但我发现我的大部分工作都集中在城市生态系统和地方政府的土地管理决策上. 土地使用冲突产生了对创新规划和设计的需求, 城市是有争议的空间,随着城市化在全球的迅速扩张,城市的重要性只会越来越大. I have conducted research in the areas of urban biodiversity; remnant urban green space and its use for improving water quality and for providing neighborhood amenities (as greenways and as a way of promoting active living, especially in low socio-economic status neighborhoods); and ecologically sensitive, conservation-oriented, land planning and management.

作为一名景观建筑教育家,我工作的动力来自于“场地第一”和“场地为源”的概念,” a respect for the land itself, hydrological systems, and the complexities of socio-ecological systems. 读懂风景是这个职业的基本技能, 我很享受帮助学生以前所未有的方式看待风景的过程, in ways that lead to informed, responsible, and poetic design responses. 就像植物学家一样,他们可以环游世界,识别植物的属或科,即使某个特定的物种对他们来说是新的, 景观设计师可以利用他们的技能来分析和理解他们遇到的生物物理系统. In studio classes, we practice these skills, 利用它们来发现大型景观中的模式,然后将这些模式与场地尺度上的规划和设计干预联系起来. 我的投资组合包括许多合作规划机构和环境组织,他们需要这种分析作为其综合规划过程的一部分. 将现实世界的需求带入课堂,使学生和从业者都受益.

我的研究兴趣集中在人们如何处理景观数据, 重点是如何使用数据来决定我们社区的公共和私人投资. These decisions are predicated on data analysis and synthesis, 它们通常起源于专业计划和设计中提出的想法. 计划制定作为知识的社会建构的一种表达,是我在职业生涯中一直追求的兴趣, primarily as a person involved in the creation of plans. 我的工作将景观建筑与城市和区域规划联系起来, 一个专业领域,有时被认为是景观规划.
