M <br />Interested Applicants <br />InterestedApplicants <br />9/26/2017 1:36:51 PM <br />Personal Interest Contribution <br />I entered the profession of architecture because I <br />believed that our built environment could have a <br />significant and positive impact on society. Our built <br />environment also has a significant impact on the urban <br />and natural environments in which we place our <br />constructions. For this reason my professional practice <br />has focused on public buildings. Their design and their <br />placement are critical for the well being of our community <br />and our environment. <br />No Suoolemental Answers <br />The City of Eugene was located at the highest navigatable <br />point of Willamette River. The early settlers recognized the <br />importance of the river but in many respects we have <br />turned our back on the river. I am very interested in <br />exploring how best to recognize and take advantage of this <br />wonderful resource. So when members of the AIA local <br />affairs committee asked me to apply for this position as a <br />representative of the architectural community i agreed to <br />apply. I have lived and worked in or around Eugene since <br />1982 and although I currently live just outside the UGB I <br />still own a house in town (occupied by my son) and have a <br />real interest in helping to maintain the vitality and character <br />of Eugene. I believe that my architectural experience, my <br />interest in the natural and built environments and my <br />previous experience with the EWEB site are all assets that I <br />could bring to this committee. <br />Page 42 of 112 y C7 <br />
