The latest From Waste to Wonder studio project, conducted by Asst. Prof. Nikole Bouchard, is a three-part exercise that challenges students to identify, locate, quantify and create with various types of waste, this time at a Landscape Urbanism scale.
Students were asked to identify a type of local waste(s) that they wished to investigate, to identify, locate and quantify these obsolete items via research-driven maps, infographics, diagrams, indexical photographs, interviews, videos, etc.
As they researched, they were to consider remediation strategies for materials, conditions and sites such as elements (Earth, Wind, Water and Fire/Fuel), demolition debris, vacant lots, post-industrial landscapes, toxic terrain, underutilized/abandoned Infrastructures, organic waste / compost, abandoned quarries and mines, and to develop design proposals.
Each semester, SARUP turns into a beehive of creative activity, with the collective energy of students and faculty resulting in projects and presentations that excite and intrigue, as they generate enquiry into the disciplines of architecture and urban planning. This blog is an attempt to give a glimpse of our life.
