I work holistically and synthetically to answer the question: “Who benefits from the city’s growth, and who doesn’t.” In recent studio work I mapped the existing downtown conditions, developed spatial frameworks to guide development, modeled different form-based development scenarios, and designed implementable, early-phase demonstration projects that catalyzed the framework plans.
Newark, Which Way Forward?
In collaboration with the City of Newark’s Office of Planning and Zoning in the Department of Economic and Housing Development, the Fall 2019 MIP studio led by Professor Georgeen Theodore was tasked with creating a foundation for the city’s future masterplan. A key component of the studio work was the creation of a large-scale 3D-printed model of the downtown core used for the rapid prototyping and modeling of different future scenarios. The model will be used by the City; development proposals will be modeled and inserted in the evolving model to evaluate the physical form of each new building proposed for the downtown.
