Presenters:

Michael LeClere

Assoc. AIA & ASLA, LEED Green Assoc., CDT – Architectural and Landscape Architectural Associate | Community Engagement Specialist

Michael was born into a fourth generation farming family in NE Iowa. He went on to study design at The University of Iowa and The University of Oregon with a focus on community revitalization, creative placemaking, preservation, and sustainability. During his time at The University of Oregon he was a member of designBridge whose goal is to bring the resources and energy of design students to communities and organizations that need assistance. These interests lead him to first tackle issues of decline in his rural hometown of Coggon, IA. He currently is a member of the Linn County Historic Preservation Commission, volunteer with the Community Design Program through the IA Architectural Foundation and is involved in the Community Visioning Program run jointly through ISU, IA DOT, and Trees Forever. These experiences were fundamental to him in illustrating the effects of making design more visible and accessible as a strategy to enhance street life, stimulate local economies and mitigate decline. He focuses professionally on utilizing the design process to educate, empower, enhance, and sustain healthy communities to make great places to live, work, and play.
