Abstract

This case study examines a process in which scientific research paralleled and informed community-based planning and design. By identifying key resource issues and management options, the planning process also influenced the design of scientific research. The Las Vegas Springs Preserve will be located at the Las Vegas Valley Water District North Well Field, a 180-acre parcel near the center of the urban area in Las Vegas, Nevada. Because of its rich biological, cultural, and water resources, the water district identified the need for an interpretive facility explaining this heritage and suggesting ways for the community to be more sensitive to the fragile ecology of the Mojave Desert. The paper first describes the context, site conditions, program elements, and management structure which define the preserve. It next examines the process and roles of the planning team, and finally suggests a possible role for faculty members on design teams as reflective practitioners. The author participated as coordinator of the planning process and continues to be involved in the project.
