Research Interests
Tom’s scholarly and professional practice interests focus on helping nonprofit organizations and communities address long-range land-use planning, environmental and outdoor educational needs. Tom teaches design studios in the Landscape Architecture and Design Studies programs at Iowa State. Each semester, he finds opportunities for his students to actively engage in real projects so they may have the experience of working closely with community residents, businesses, and stakeholders to address the needs of the community or organization.
