Meeting with Expert: Bruce Fountain
Madi and I had a conference call with Bruce Fountain, the
Sarpy County Planning and Building Director to discuss land use in Sarpy
County. Our focus is on the change in land use typology as agriculture land is
rezoned into residential and commercial land. Bruce Fountain informed us that
there are a few driving factors changing the land use in Sarpy County.
It is currently the fastest growing County in Nebraska with
extremely good school districts. There is a population increase in the area as
many families are moving to take advantage of the school districts. Secondly, in
areas where utilities have already been laid out for farmers it makes it easy
to rezone the land to residential districts. The areas of rezoning and development
have been largely driven by where utilities already exist. Bruce Fountain also
informed us about the conservation requirements for the County. All of developed
land has 40% of the property in a conservation overlay. Our conference call with
Bruce Fountain was very beneficial. As we continue our research we will be
looking into the agriculture land that still exists and answer the questions of
will it be protected as agricultural land or will it be developed into
residential land? We will also be taking a look into the growth rate of Sarpy
County to see how it is affecting the change in land use.

Land Use Policy
Researchers:
Madi Sorrick - 6th year Master's of Architecture Student
Michelle Hassler - Dual Degree Master's of Architecture and Master's of Community and Regional Planning Student
Our focus will be on the land use development and redevelopment of the Shadow Lake area located within Sarpy County, NE. We will be looking at the land use history over the last few decades, creating a timeline of land use exchanges and rezoning, as well as, layered infographs.

Course Overview
Catalogue Description:
Comprehensive review and examination of territorial relationships between spatial development, engineering, ecology, and architecture. Focuses on emerging factors affecting urban, suburban, and rural communities and spatial configurations beyond the binary of city and country.
Course Introduction:
The course responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform design activities previously confined to the domains of engineering, ecology, or regional planning. Through a foregrounding of territory, this course aims to open up a range of formal repertoires and political agendas for architecture. Why Project Territory? Territory lies outside the binary of city and country. It is the interrelation of representational practices and physical interventions in space. As representation, territory offers the tools to measure, modify, and situate. The territory is multiple as it embodies the political-will of a variety of actors operating at different scales. As a project in physical space, territory is the anti-thesis of tabula rasa: it is layered, negotiated, and constantly transforming. As such, territory is the coupling of political and aesthetic projects at various scales.
