For their final project in Field Methods in Architectural and Urban Research, Taesha Aurora and Garrett Wiese created a historical excavation of 337 Crown Street, a modest, wood-framed house that has occuped that site for about 175 years and will soon be demolished by its current owner, Yale, to make way for the Dramatic Arts Center.
The New Haven Independent covered Field Methods on Howe and wrote a great piece that features student projects, including Karina Encarnaçion’s project 68 Howe Street + its many lives.
Students from the Yale School of Architecture and Yale School of Environment share their interactive, New Haven-based research projects with a public at 68 Howe Street, the Miya’s Sushi Building. Visitors received a “Participation Punch Card” which they filled out with stickers and stamps as they engaged with students and discussed their projects.
Article in the New Haven Independent features student projects, in particular Karina Encarnaçion’s study of the Miya’s Building itself:
The Climate Mural on the East-facing wall of the Goffe Street Armory is ready to be enjoyed by all! Check it out! This is a Yale Planetary Solutions project, led by Climate Fellow Daniel Pizarro and ace muralist Mike DeAngelo. Big thanks to Nadine Horton and the Armory Community Garden!
“On the Collective Memory Map, anyone with a pen could claim authority in defining the unlabeled streets of the city. the resulting diagram revealed the places in New Haven that are especially meaningfuly to each participant, from Popeye’s on Whalley to the old English Station power plant building to the ‘Yale Business School.’”
Staten Island’s North Shore Railroad corridor is defunct and largely disused. This project, initiated in the Core 4 Urbanism Studio at YSOA, is a research-based public engagement that questions the past, present, and future of this potentially valuable civic asset.
The work was installed at the Stapleton Branch of the New York Public Library in Staten Island, open to the public between April 12 and April 20, with two faciliated workshops.
