This semester mandy johnson and I are making social housing in Allston village.

We craft small houses then place them next to one-another. There are duplexes that jump over flats, duplexes that stack and town houses that shuffle together.



They are all designed for people with hobbies. Included within the volume of each unit is a flexible exterior room that provides the space for residents to practice their hobbies.

One person likes to grow orchids and magnolia trees and another enjoys bamboo and bella palms.

I believe the constructive/destructive dichotomy inherent within competition is essential in an area of study in which criticism is so highly valued. With that said, competition is...

Twenty one students, two professors and I went to chicago. The scale of the city immediately makes me realize how Boston is truly a European city. It shows what a blank slate, waterfront, and endless space can materialize into. A little bit of planning and a strong architectural fetish yield a... View full entry
