The LandLab is the LDI’s green technology
education, research, and demonstration lab. It was first proposed in
a presentation and paper at the Greening of the Campus II conference
(Motloch & Ferguson, 1997). By 2000, the LandLab idea had been
evolved into a two-layered initiative including the Land Design
Institute as the information-flow entity and the LandLab as the
LDI’s green technology demonstration lab. The LDI's LandLab was
conceptually designed (2002-2003) in a manner integrated with the
Field Station and Environmental Education Center as the
FSEEC-LandLab. Conceptual design was achieved through the CERES
Fellowship entitled “Resource-balancing Design for the FSEEC-LandLab:
BSU’s First Green Building and Built-Site (Motloch, 2002-3).
Subsequent CERES Fellowships (Motloch 2003-2004 and 2004-2005)
included preproposals for Phase One green technology demonstration
projects. |
