East Boston Race & Ethnicity Trends

I was tasked with conducting a demographic analysis focusing on the race and ethnicity of East Boston. By examining the racial and ethnic makeup, we aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of the social fabric, fostering informed decision-making processes for projects or initiatives tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of East Boston.

Conceptual Design

Site 3 has the greenway on one side and 3-story single-family residential homes on the opposite side. To work within this context, I designed two different facade types on each side of the site, one that relates to the park and fits comfortably into the residential urban context.

Conceptual Design Collage

Creating conceptual design collages yields many benefits in the architectural and design process. These collages serve as visual narratives, consolidating diverse ideas, inspirations, and design elements into a cohesive storyboard. By amalgamating images, textures, colors, and forms, designers can communicate abstract concepts more effectively, fostering a shared understanding among team members and stakeholders. Conceptual design collages also provide a platform for experimentation and exploration, allowing for the visualization of design possibilities before committing to a specific direction.

Green-way Perspective

The perspective offers a captivating view from the East Boston Greenway, strategically showcasing the seamless integration of the greenway's circulation with the first floor of my building. The design emphasizes a thoughtful connection, allowing a fluid transition from the vibrant outdoor space to the dynamic interior. The jagged facade, deliberately crafted, serves as a unique architectural feature that not only contributes to the building's aesthetic appeal but also offers an array of diverse views.
