RESEARCH
Daniel's current research is focused in three areas. Two are focused on accessing the psychological affects of people's interactions with the land and how they might positively affect their quality of life. The last focuses on technology and design. His primary research questions include:
Can interactions with gardens, landscapes or nature play a role in the healing process and in palliative care for those experiencing a decline in their mental or physical health? If so, what are the measurable benefits they provide?
How do landscapes express the cultural life of specific displaced communities?How can access to or the creation of landscapes/gardens help alleviate stresses in the readaptive process of immigration?
How are technological developments changing the practice and aesthetics of landscape design? How can landscape architecture better respond to global concerns such as, contamination, remeadiation and sustainable development through design and material development?
The therapeutic garden research is proceeding under a University of Washington Medical Center and a NUFAC grant for "Healing Nature: The Psychological, Social and Spiritual Effects of Nature in the Hospice Care Environment" is pending. Co-investigator in these projects is Anne Kearney, Forestry, UW.
