Exploration and Discovery: Field Studies 2002. Through Oct. 24. Circle Gallery, ground floor, Caldwell Hall (open 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m., weekdays). Sponsored by College of Environment and Design. 542-8293.
As the new College of Environment and Design begins its second year as a unified program, this exhibit demon-strates the success of merging ecology and design.
On exhibit are a series of student projects from five different courses in which students study the characteristics of the environment, address areas of land in need of restoration and plan for future uses of specific sites.
In the “Plant Communities of the Southeast” May-term course led by Darrel Morrison and graduate assistant Nancy Aten, students learned about the characteristics and components of various plant communities. Travels ranged from high-elevation forests in the mountains of North Carolina to the coastal plains of Georgia. Creative writing, field notes, drawings and paintings illustrate the differences between these communities.
Students of Jack Crowley’s “Tanyard Creek Summer Studio” addressed a degraded urban stream setting. The area of Tanyard Creek studied runs through the UGA campus by Sanford Stadium. Two design proposals offer ideas to restore Tanyard Branch and the surrounding riparian habitat to healthy conditions, monitor the site and educate the university community about the importance of a healthy stream. Results were presented to the community on Aug. 1.
The “Campus Planning Summer Studio,” directed by Bill Ramsey, focused on designing the new campus of the College of Environment and Design. Students took into account physical aspects of the site, spatial relations and proposed building and outdoor usage to create a series of conceptual ideas for the site.
“Travels to Costa Rica” for the summer studio gave landscape architecture students the opportunity to develop master plan studies for the UGA Ecolodge San Luis campus. Professors Allen Stovall and Gregg Coyle led this summer course.
Students in Laurie Fowler’s “Etowah Practicum” course in fall 2001 continued work on the design for the Etowah Watershed Regional Greenspace plan. This design proposal, which addresses issues of protecting greenspace along the Upper Etowah watershed, maximizing species diversity and improving water quality, was presented at the Second National Green Space Design Competition where it tied for first place.
