Four Questions with Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Built Environments Student Shamara Smith

“As soon as I took a climate change class, I realized can do a lot more with sustainability.”
 

 

Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Built Environments student Shamara Smith, who has a Minor in American Sign Language, came to the University of Arizona from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her SBE capstone project, Infrastructure's Influence on Active Travel in Arizona, demonstrates that improving cyclist and pedestrian facilities improves safety for these increasingly popular "active travel" modes of transit. In this video profile, Shamara discusses how she became interested in sustainability, her passions for leaving the world better than she found it through sustainable buildings and transportation, why community engagement is important and the value of networking in building a new career.

CAPLA Lecturer and Alumni Win 2025 AIA Arizona Ideas Competition

Senior Lecturer in Architecture Oscar Lopez and three CAPLA alumni won first place in the 2025 AIA Arizona Ideas Competition for their proposal “BLOCK UP.” The project reimagines the urban tower as a vertical civic framework for Phoenix, integrating public space, housing and climate-responsive design into a shared, adaptable structure. Developed through close collaboration between Lopez and alumni Sal Arellano, Trevor Watson and Cameron Noble, the proposal explores how density can expand community and access beyond the street level, highlighting CAPLA’s impact on forward-thinking, civic-minded design in Arizona.

Applied Active Transportation Class Aims to Improve Bike and Pedestrian Safety on Campus

A CAPLA studio led by Senior Lecturer Joey Iuliano is turning student interest into action by focusing on improving walking and cycling conditions on campus. In collaboration with Parking & Transportation Services and the Office of Sustainability, students analyze crash data and develop design proposals for key campus corridors to improve safety and connectivity. Inspired in part by last fall’s fatal traffic accident near campus, the course aims to produce practical ideas that could inform future campus planning.
