South End BostonSOWA Revitalization

Context Study

City Blocks Streets Bldg. Heights Block Pattern Street Direction Hwy. Noise

This project gave me the opportunity to work in collaboration with architects, interior designers, as well as, another landscape student in order to revitalize a declining warehouse and the surrounding parking lot. The near 4 acre site is home to the historic S.O.W.A open air market, and is surrounded by a culturaly rich community. I insisted that we design a space that would be accessible to the immediate community, implement sustainability, and to the immediate community, implement sustainability, and to accomodate the market.

I was able to learn Revit Architecture 3D the summer prior tothis course and applied a lot of what i learned on this project.

By taking a set of line drawings that represented different modes of transportation, and then overlaying them, My grounp and I were able to create a model in which helped guide us through our design.
