So it’s all over.
O.V.E.R. It was a big push right to the end, but somehow I finished (mostly). The final review was very insightful and the jury fully bought into the project, always a plus. The discussion mostly focused on how the project could be expanded, particularly how the structures built here could then create a new urban structure for the west Baltimore community. Below are the final results of my independent degree project.
The setup is also great for meeting potential partners, pitching ideas and new introductions. Passion is viral. Hard work is viral. Creativity crosses boundaries—which I think all lead to a unique work environment.
So I just discovered this business from NYC called General Assembly (thanks Mario!). My goal is for my thesis project to emulate this, but on steroids.
"Basically, freeways don't belong in cities."
For the record, I am not a New Urbanist and they would hate my project.
All credit goes to my teammate, James Donovan, for making this video of our Top Fuel project.
