SUSAN GOLTSMAN

Susan M. Goltsman, FASLA, specializes in the planning and design of environments for children, youth and families. A national expert in universal and environmental design, recreation planning and accessibility, her designs tell the story of a place and its people—weaving history and art with function and form to create inclusive environments that become destinations. 

From programming to site design, Ms. Goltsman creates places in response to community needs, operational realities, and physical, economic and social context. By conducting original research and approaching design through inclusivity, she has established new paradigms regarding healthy human development and the environment in a range of settings, including parks, community facilities, schools, museums, zoos, family justice centers, and natural environments.

A founding principal of Moore, Iacafano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) with over 30 years of professional experience planning, designing and sustaining environments that support healthful human development, Ms. Goltsman has advised government agencies and communities around the world, including developing policy frameworks and standard designs for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, General Services Administration, and many cities in the U.S. and Canada. She advised the U.S. Access Board and served on the committee that established national ADA guidelines for outdoor environments. Ms. Goltsman’s work has been cited in numerous books, articles and publications. She is co-author of the groundbreaking Play for All Guidelines and The Accessibility Checklist, an evaluation system for buildings and outdoor settings; and co-editor of The Inclusive City: Design Solutions for Buildings, Neighborhoods and Urban Spaces.

Ms. Goltsman’s work has received awards from the National Endowment of the Arts, the American Planning Association, the San Francisco architectural Foundation, the California Parks and Recreation Society, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Environmental Design Research Association, the United Cerebral Palsy Association, and the American Zoological and Aquarium Association.

DANIEL KARLIN

Dr. Daniel Karlin is a resident in the UCLA Combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics program. Born in Los Angeles and trained at UC Berkeley and UCLA. Daniel has sought to draw on multiple disciplines in the pursuit of broad-scale solutions to global health problems. 

While still in medical school, Daniel’s passion for an experience beyond the traditional boundaries of medicine brought him to the peri-urban shantytowns of Lima, Peru, through the Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholarship program of the U.S. National Institute of Health [link]. Under the guidance of Dr. Carlton Evans, Innovation For Health and Development (IFHAD) and Associación Benefica PRISMA (AB PRISMA), his interests took on the form of an epidemiologic study assessing the interplay of mental health and socioeconomic factors on the lives and wellbeing of tuberculosis patients living in the shanty town of Ventanilla. 

Further qualitative work into the actual experience of tuberculosis patients suffering from depression brought Daniel into the homes of these patients, which exposed him even further to the role of the built environment in disease.  His work has been presented at the International Union of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease International Conference in Lille, France.

Daniel is currently pursuing his specialization in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, which he hopes to apply in the field of global health in the future. His current research interests are focused on creating safe, capable hospital settings even in the most impoverished of environments, using resources and capabilities inherent to the local community. He hopes to draw together an array of professionals in varying fields of expertise to collaborate on creating health infrastructure in the places that need it most.  

Daniel Karlin is a member of the BERKELEY PRIZE Committee.
