ACSA COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE AWARD SUBMISSION: THE FIELD OF DREAMS ECOCOMMUNITY
RESILIENCE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE AS A FRAMEWORK FOR ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
THE FIELD OF DREAMS ECOCOMMUNITY (FOD) IS A COMMUNITY OUTREACH, TEACHING AND RESEARCH PROJECT THAT LINKS ARCHITECTURAL FACULTY AND STUDENTS WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AS A NON-
PROFIT AFFORDABLE HOUSING ORGANIZATION, PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONERS, NEIGHBORHOOD CITIZENS, JURISDICTIONS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS, TO CREATE LEARNING AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH
RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND SOCIAL JUST DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, AND TO EXTEND DESIGN EDUCATION BEYOND THE CLASSROOM INTO REGIONAL COMMUNITIES. FOD BECAME THE PRELUDE TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH’S NEW REGIONAL DESIGN+BUILD SALT LAKE [D+BSL] PROGRAM, OF WHICH THE FACULTY AUTHOR IS THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR.
TO DATE, FOD’S DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND PRESENTED AT 3 INTERNATIONAL AND 2 NATIONAL PEER-REVIEWED CONFERENCES AND NUMEROUS INVITED LECTURES THROUGHOUT
THE U.S. IT HAS BEEN ON DISPLAY AS PART OF TWO LARGER EXHIBITIONS IN LEADING LOCAL MUSEUMS AND EXHIBITIONS IN SALT LAKE CITY.

PROJECT CONTEXT
THE FIELD OF DREAMS ECOCOMMUNITY
A CLEAR, IMPACTFUL AND INNOVATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIALLY JUST RESILIENCE
THE FOD DEVELOPMENT OF 20 RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSES AND THE LOCAL DESIGN+BUILD PROGRAM THAT RESULTED THEREFROM IS A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN REGIONAL
COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH’S SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CAREERS IN THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO
ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CREATIVE PROJECTS AS A WAY TO PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND ADDRESS ISSUES OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE THROUGH ARCHITECTURE. THE INAUGURAL PROJECT
FOR THESE PARTNERSHIPS WAS THE PARTICIPATION IN THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, PERMITTING PROCESS AND CONSTRUCTION OF FOD, INCLUDING A COMPREHENSIVE STUDENT CONSTRUCTION COMPONENT
DURING THE FALL 2018 SEMESTER. IN ADDITION TO PROJECT DESIGN AND RESEARCH, THE FACULTY AUTHOR, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE [COLLABORATING PARTY] AND LOCAL JURISDICTION, HOSTED
NUMEROUS PARTICIPATORY EVENTS FOR THE STUDENTS WITHIN THEIR CLASSROOM FRAMEWORK, TO EXPOSE THEM TO THE CHALLENGES OF URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND PROJECT RESEARCH,
INCLUDING CLIENT MEETINGS, CITY PLANNING MEETINGS, NEIGHBORHOOD CITIZEN PARTICIPATORY MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, FREQUENT SITE VISITS AND MANUFACTURER VISITS. AT ALL STAGES OF FOD’S
DEVELOPMENT, A CROSS SECTION OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS, FACULTY, PRACTITIONERS IN ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, URBAN DESIGN, AND LANDSCAPING ENGAGED IN MEANINGFUL WAYS.

PROJECT CONTEXT INTEGRATED TEAM APPROACH FOR THE FOD DEVELOPMENT OF RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSES WITHIN A MICRO-COMMUNITY, THE TEAM TOOK AN INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH IN WHICH STAKEHOLDERS, FACULTY, STUDENTS, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, ENGINEERS, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND COMPONENT MANUFACTURERS WERE CONTINUOUSLY INVOLVED. THIS APPROACH CONSIDERABLY HELPED THE USE OF STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS FOR THE UNITS, A CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS THAT IS MORE OR LESS UNKNOWN ON THE REGIONAL MARKET AND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SEGMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE INTEGRATED TEAM APPROACH INCLUDED EXPLORATIONS OF NEW MEANS OF DENSITY, ESTABLISHING A LEVEL PLAYFIELD FOR AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS TO RESILIENT HOUSING FOR LOWER INCOME DEMOGRAPHICS. WITH A COMMUNITY VISION IN MIND, THE FACULTY AUTHOR, IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE CLIENT, LOCAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS, WENT THROUGH A LOCAL ZONING REFORM TO CHANGE DENSITY TO THE HIGHEST EXTEND POSSIBLE, ALLOWING TWICE AS MANY UNITS ON THE PROPERTY, THUS SAVING EACH UNIT ABOUT $40,000 IN LAND DEVELOPMENT COST - MONEY THAT WAS THEN UTILIZED TOWARDS A 60% HIGHER BUILDING PERFORMANCE. TWENTY, 1,500 SF, 3 BEDROOM UNITS IN 10 DUPLEXES ARE NOW BEING ERECTED AROUND A COMMUNAL MULTI-FUNCTIONAL RECREATIONAL SPACE THAT PROMOTES OUTDOOR GATHERINGS AND ACTIVITIES, SIMULTANEOUSLY OPENING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEREFORE ADDING ECONOMIC VALUE TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. ELEVATED PLANTERS ALLOW OCCUPANTS TO GROW THEIR OWN PRODUCE, PROVIDING A RENEWABLE RESOURCE FOR QUALITY NUTRITION AND FAMILY SAVINGS, PROMOTING TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY. 80-GALLON RAINWATER TANKS/UNIT REPLACE RUNOFF AND SUPPORT PRODUCE PRODUCTION. 03 AERIAL OVERVIEW LOOKING NORTH

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY PARTICIPATORY WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE - AUTHENTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE THE INTENT OF CREATING PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN REGIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH’S SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE IS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CAREERS IN THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CREATIVE PROJECTS AS A WAY TO PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND ADDRESS ISSUES OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE THROUGH ARCHITECTURE. FURTHERMORE, A STRONG PRACTICAL CLASSROOM CONTENT AND PARTICIPATORY EVENTS WITH PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS, THE PLANNING COMMUNITY, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEES AND THE JURISDICTION HAS A TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT ONTO STUDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL ACADEMIC CONTENT. 05 STUDENT PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF THE CITY’S PLANNING DEPARTMENT TEAM
EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY PARTICIPATORY WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE - AUTHENTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THE PROJECT WAS REPEATEDLY TAKEN INTO THE CLASSROOM TO OFFER TO THE STUDENTS DESIGN CHARETTES, BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS, CLIENT’S PROJECT DISCUSSIONS, AND TO HAVE THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY MEETINGS, PLANNING MEETINGS AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS.

THE LEADOFF COHORT OF 10 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND FINALIZATION OF THE FIRST DUPLEX, WITH 9 MORE DUPLEXES AND 18 UNITS TO GO. “IT WAS EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO SEE HOW CONTRACTORS WORK WITH THE ARCHITECT AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. IT WAS ALSO INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LOOKING AT THE PLANS, OR LACK THEREOF, INFLUENCED THE FINAL OUTCOME. IT WAS ALSO VERY INFORMATIVE TO SEE HOW THE CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY METHOD AFFECTED THE PROJECT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE ENJOYED LEARNING ABOUT PASSIVE HOUSES - I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT IS THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD GO IN THE FUTURE. I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO TAKE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE TWO SEMESTERS AND ACTUALLY APPLY IT IN MY CAREER.” - ZACH HESLOP, D+BSL M.ARCH GRADUATE STUDENT 08 EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH - ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS ON SITE
EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY CLASSROOM INTEGRATION - DEVELOPING RESILIENT PRACTICES “LOOKING BACK AT THE YEAR, THE FIRST SEMESTER OF DESIGN+BUILD [LOCATION] WAS DEFINITELY A HIGH POINT IN MY ACADEMIC CAREER. EVEN THOUGH WORKING WITH THE CITY WAS FRUSTRATING I REALLY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT REAL DESIGN AND WORKING WITH PLANNING AUTHORITIES. THE SEMESTER ON THE JOB SITE, WHILE THERE WERE FRUSTRATIONS, THERE WAS A LOT OF FUN TO BE HAD WITH EACH OTHER AND A LOT OF THINGS WE COULD LEARN. OVERALL I WOULD SAY THIS PROGRAM WAS VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN. THANK YOU!” - DAVID ZIMMERMAN, D+BSL M.ARCH GRADUATE STUDENT 09
RESEARCH & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS (SIPS)
CONSIDERABLY REDUCING WOODEN FRAMING COMPONENTS, THE HOMES ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM SIPS THAT USE GRAPHITE-INFUSION TECHNOLOGIES TO INCREASE ITS R-VALUE. THIS ALLOWS APPLICATION OF
8” SIPS INSTEAD OF 12” STANDARD PANELS OR FRAMED WALLS, MAINTAINING PASSIVE HOUSE PERFORMANCE VALUES FOR WALLS AND ROOFS, SIMULTANEOUSLY OFFERING ADDITIONAL NET-SQUARE FOOTAGE.
COMPARABLE IN COST TO CONVENTIONALLY STICK-FRAME INSULATED WALLS, SIPS ARE EASIER AND FASTER TO INSTALL BY THE VOLUNTEERS AND STUDENTS ON THE PROJECT AND OFFER A CONSIDERABLY LOWER
AIR INFILTRATION RATE.
FACULTY AND ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS VISIT A LOCAL PREFABRICATION

BENEFICIAL FROM A PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS AN ASSEMBLY PERSPECTIVE.
STRUCTURAL INSULATED GRAPHITE-INFUSED PANELSRESEARCH & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PASSIVE TO ACTIVE BUILDING PERFORMANCE STRATEGIES PASSIVE-TO ACTIVE STRATEGIES RANGE FROM SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGN AND ORIENTATION (OFFERING DIFFERENT FLOOR PLANS FOR NORTH AND SOUTH UNITS), PASSIVE HOUSE COMPONENTS, CONSIDERABLY ENHANCED PERFORMANCE VALUES FOR WALLS, ROOF AND FLOOR SLABS WITH LOWERED AIR INFILTRATION RATES, AND AN OPTIMIZED ACTIVE HOUSE COMPACT CORE DEVELOPED BY RESEARCHERS AT THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY. THESE MEASURES ENHANCE PERFORMANCE TO OVER 60% (HERS 39) OVER COMPARABLE CODE STANDARD BUILDINGS. FUTURE INSTALLATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC IN THE SOLAR-READY HOMES ALLOWS FOR SITE NET ZERO PERFORMANCE. A POST-OCCUPANCY MONITORING SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY THE AUTHOR AS PART OF HIS UNIVERSITY RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE FURTHER DATA TO INTERPRET THE STEPS TAKEN TOWARDS HIGHER PERFORMANCE FOR THEIR FEASIBILITY AND ROI. 11 UNITS 9&10 UNDER CONSTRUCTION

WITH THE FOD COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE LEADING TO THE OFFICIAL
ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW LOCAL DESIGN+BUILD PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERITY OF UTAH , THE AUTHOR
IS CONFIDENT IN STATING THAT THE PROJECT OVERALL HAS BEEN A SUCCESS IN ITS ORIGINAL
INTENTION TO SERVE AS AN OUTREACH, COMMUNITY SERVICE, TEACHING AND RESEARCH INITIATIVE
THAT LINKS FACULTY AND STUDENTS IN ARCHITECTURE WITH STAKEHOLDERS, PRACTITIONERS,
JURISDICTIONS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS, TO CREATE STRONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ABOUT
ARCHITECTURE THROUGH SUSTAINABLE, RESILIENT AND AFORDABLE BUILDING DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, TO EXTEND DESIGN EDUCATION BEYOND THE CLASSROOM AND INTO THE
COMMUNITY, THUS OFFERING A TRULY TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE.
THE PROJECT HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY, WHICH INCLUDES THE GENERAL
PUBLIC IN THE FORM OF HABITAT FOR HUMINITY WITH ITS NEW OCCUPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES;
THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROJECT;
AND THE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY WHO ENGAGED IN MENTORING HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
AND ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS BY SHARING THEIR EXPERTISE. THIS IMPACT INCLUDES BOTH A
SUSTAINABLE FOCUS AS IT RELATES TO THE FOD DESIGN AS WELL AS A SOCIAL AND JUST FOCUS AS
IT RELATES TO THE SCOPE OF WORK AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR ARCHITECTS.
DURING THE AY 2019/2020 THE FOLLOW-UP STUDENT COHORT DESIGNED+BUILT A 750 SF HIGH-
PERFORMANCE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT FOR A WHEELCHAIR-BOUND REFUGEE MOTHER FROM
TIBET, WHCIH WAS COMPLETED IN EARLY FALL 2020.
„JÖRG RÜGEMER HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL TO OUR ORGANIZATION IN THE DESIGN OF A 20 HOME
DEVELOPMENT CALLED “THE FIELD OF DREAMS ECOCOMMUNITY.” WE SET OUT TO CRAFT SUPER
ENERGY EFFICIENT HOUSING IN THIS SECTOR AT AN AFFORDABLE COST, ONE THAT MEETS THE
STANDARDS OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE LIMITED INCOMES OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE.
JÖRG RÜGEMER‘S INNOVATIVE DESIGNS ARE INTEGRAL IN MEETING THE GOALS WE HAVE FOR
MAKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AFFORDABLE TO OWN. I HAVE THE DEEPEST PERSONAL AND
PROFESSIONAL RESPECT FOR JÖRG, AND SINCERELY BELIEVE HE WILL BRING HIS UNIQUE
SKILLSETS, OPTIMISM, PASSION, AND TIRELESS CREATIVITY TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE
FIELD OF DREAMS DEVELOPMENT. HE HAS MY HIGHEST ENDORSEMENT.“
