Faculty providing leadership for the project include José Zelaya, Alf Simon, Joni Palmer and Chris Wilson. The students are from both architecture and landscape architecture. The studio was supported by the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division as part of the school's historic preservation and regionalism initiative. Among ideas the students developed is a redesign of the community's downtown courthouse square, proposals for a trail system for pedestrians and bicyclists along the Pecos River and El Rito and facility improvements at Blue Hole, a nationally recognized scuba diving center. The award will be presented in Farmington at the Marriott Courtyard during the chapter's annual conference dinner on Thursday, Sept. 30. # # # Public Affairs Department MSC01 1170 Hodgin Hall, 2nd floor Albuquerque, NM 87131-0011 Telephone: (505) 277-5813 Fax: (505) 277-1981 |
