Elegance Of Green
The document discusses sustainability and becoming more environmentally friendly or "green". It notes that while the Earth has existed for billions of years, humans have only been around for a few million and have only been unable to drink water or eat anywhere for around 500 years. It advocates working with natural laws like how nature uses only the energy it needs and has no waste. Some steps on the journey to becoming greener mentioned are using biobased raw materials, biomimicry, becoming carbon neutral, improving energy efficiency, and reducing waste. An example is given of a student design challenge to create a biomimicry-inspired backpack tent. The document promotes becoming more sustainable and green as creating a better world.
Earth Day 2016: Trees at Work

Permaculture is a design science that seeks to mimic natural ecosystems by thoughtfully integrating different elements like plants, animals, and structures. It aims to create self-sustaining and productive systems that meet human needs for food, energy, and shelter while minimizing waste and environmental impact. Some key principles of permaculture design include placing elements to support mutual relationships, assigning multiple functions to each element, and observing natural patterns like water movement across zones. Practicing permaculture even on a small scale, such as home gardens, can help meet basic needs and lessen dependence on unsustainable systems.

It includes his education background from Beijing Forestry University and Ball State University, work experiences as a class representative and intern, skills in design software and hand drawing, interests in cycling and traveling, and samples of projects including an environmental education center, art-wrapped substation and community space, vacant lot reuse focusing on at-risk youth, and additional works.
RiverFirst Interim Land Management Strategy
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is actively assembling riverfront properties that will, in time, become developed parkland as envisioned by RiverFirst and the Above the Falls Regional Park Master Plan. Often, the properties have continuing commercial uses or are otherwise not ready for park development.
The Park Board annually sets aside funds to help manage the properties. However, it’s a struggle to implement a successful toolkit of simple yet impactful management strategies that demonstrate good stewardship, communicate positive messages and provide compelling community value. As a result, they often appear abandoned, don’t communicate positive messages to the public and provide little functional value.
The Dept. of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota College of Design's RA-In-Practice program through the Minneapolis Parks Foundation has developed a policy framework and conceptual approaches to managing properties that celebrate them as meaningful public spaces with minimal capital investment.
This strategy was prepared over 2015-2016 with these Research Assistants: Leslie Johnson, Han Do and Chris Tallman.
Proposal Presentation
The document presents a stormwater management plan for the Sea Aire subdivision to address high runoff rates from urban development.

Immersive media has been shown to be more effective for learning. It captivates the mind with interactions, involves the whole body through movement, requires eye-hand coordination, absorbs attention with learning by doing, and engages more of the senses. It’s a much stronger sensory experience, it's more memorable, and provides a greater opportunity to lead a participant through some form of transformation. Gamification becomes possible and reinforcements, both positive and negative, can be used to shape behavior. Concrete Oasis is a persistent, city-scale, augmented reality, civic exhibit intended for Pershing Square Park that addresses the water crisis with the intention of engaging the audience with interactions that will lead to lasting behavior change. Hear from the team designing this immersive exhibit about how they are using augmented reality to help shift the collective mindset towards a sustainable water future for LA.

WaterUsageArticleFinal
The University of Redlands has taken several steps to reduce water usage in response to the California drought. Water usage has been cut by 35% through installing low flow shower heads, aerators and toilets in dorms. While projects like installing flush-free urinals have been proposed, the aging infrastructure of campus buildings has made such upgrades challenging and costly to implement. The university has also converted landscape watering to non-potable water sources and replaced grass areas with drought tolerant plants, reducing water usage by 250,000 gallons per month. Further projects are planned but financial resources are limited, requiring cooperation between facilities management and the student body to make progress on sustainability goals.

The strategy discussed includes providing incentives like reusable water bottles, installing sensor taps in restrooms, using signage to educate and promote water conservation behaviors, and installing rain barrels to redirect water usage.
PleaseTouchGrant
The document describes the Please Touch Community Garden project, which harvests rainwater and uses innovative stormwater management techniques. Up to 5,000 gallons of rainwater will be collected from 380 square feet of skylight roof area and stored in various rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation. A demonstration raingarden will also be installed. The project aims to improve stormwater management and provide other benefits like composting. Neighborhood residents have been involved in planning, design, and maintenance. The garden is a collaboration between the artist GK Callahan and the LightHouse for the Blind to provide leadership training.
