Landscape Architect shares workshop tricks

November 15, 2020

Field Day – Introducing Children to the Profession during a Global Existential Crisis and Living to Tell about It: That’s the title of Landscape Architecture Alumnus Jonathon Geels’ upcoming lecture.

As part of the Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning lecture series, Geels will speak live via Zoom at 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16. He will discuss emerging methods to promote career discovery for children, obstacles that under-represented groups face in design professions, and hybrid practice models that emphasize advocacy, activism, and awareness in the profession.

As a landscape architect, Jonathan focuses on public sites with an emphasis on health, history, environmental and social justice, as well as quantitative performance metrics. His diverse project work includes large sites for healthcare and higher education campuses, district land use and transportation planning, as well as smaller public spaces, streetscapes, plazas, and park systems. Additionally, Jonathon is passionate about urban sociology applications in public landscapes, seeing it as integral to environmental and infrastructure management as well as economic development.

And, about that workshop … Geels not only survived, but he got rave reviews. Zoom in and find out how he did it!
