The University of Orange is please to announce our 2011 Urbanists-in-Residence Tim Delorm and Lourdes Hernandez-Cordero.
Join us in welcoming them and learning from them at Placemaking 3: The River, The Bench and The Tree. Saturday April 9 at the Family Success Center, 170 Scotland Road, Orange, NJ.
President, TerraNoble Design
Tim Delorm founded TerraNoble Design with the aspiration of creating symbiotic relationships between people, place, and nature, thereby achieving truly sustainable solutions to the world’s pressing problems. He believes it is not sufficient to make things less unsustainable, rather we must strive to create regenerative projects that establish an intricate web of interrelationships between natural, socio-economic and man-made systems. Tim has practiced for three decades as an urban designer and landscape architect with two of the globe's most prominent design offices, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, PC and EDAW, Inc.
He has a broad range of project experience ranging from regenerating urban neighborhoods to the creation of new conservation community master plans to public parks and gardens. In each of these areas of practice Tim is known as an active listener, committed collaborator, accomplished facilitator and presenter, principled creative designer and technically accomplished professional.
He appears regularly before state and municipal agencies and boards to provide expert testimony in the securing of entitlements. His attention to detail in understanding and addressing regulatory requirements and potential community impacts within the context of local policy enable him to address key concerns early in project development.
Assistant Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University
Dr. Hernández-Cordero came to the U.S. in 1996 after completing her undergraduate work in Industrial Biotechnology - a degree combining Chemical Engineering and Microbiology. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she moved to the United States to attend graduate school. She joined the faculty at SMS upon completing her doctorate in 2004. Her dissertation focused on the role of organizations in community mobilization for trauma recovery post the 9/11 disaster. She conducted her postdoctoral studies at the Conservatoire Nationale des Arts et Metiers in Paris, under the guidance of Michel Cantal Dupart. As part of the Community Research Group at Columbia, she has been able to combine her interest in community mobilization and the application of research. The relationships built with local organizations as a Program Coordinator for the Northern Manhattan Community Voices Collaborative has served as the foundation for her work and are the topic of the book she coedited with Dr. Allan Formicola - Mobilizing the Community for Better Health. She is currently leading the community mobilization efforts of the Columbia Center for Youth Violence Prevention. In addition, she is spearheading the CLIMB (City Life is Moving Bodies) project, a concerted effort in collaboration with northern Manhattan based organizations to promote physical activity. Lourdes lives in northern Manhattan with her husband Rojelio Rodriguez and their three little birds Diego, Alma and Elisa.
Welcome Lourdes and Tim and thank you for being with us this year!
