In a recent article from The Architect’s Newspaper, Andrea Love shared insight into the design process behind the highly calibrated and high performance façade on the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex at Northeastern University, scheduled to open later this year. The sun shading system was developed through an iterative process between our Building Science Group and the design team. Given the initial desire for a curved façade, the Building Science Group worked with the team to determine how to deliver a curved façade that met the sustainability goals for the project. The end result is the result of a truly integrated design process wherein the building science informs the design intent and vice versa.

This year’s studio identifies seven sites along the frayed edges of Boston’s Greenway. The Greenway is a one-mile-long linear park running through the heart of the city, reconnecting downtown Boston with its waterfront. Many of the parcels along its edges remain undeveloped and present mute, blank facades to the public realm. Addressing and repairing these edges through acts of infilling, layering, grafting, framing, and placemaking is the core focus of the studio—SUTURE.
