Happy Earth Day!
It is no small coincidence that the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Duke Environment Hall was held today to mark the occasion of the upcoming building addition to the Nicholas School of the Environment. George Marsh and Daniel Gonzalez Brenes attended the ceremony.
What does it mean to design a practice—not just a building?
In “Leading Through Practice,” a new Harvard GSD article by A. Krista Sykes, Kevin Sullivan and Angela Ward Hyatt reflect on the ideas and experiences that have shaped their careers.
For Kevin, the GSD was one part of that foundation, deepening his interest in rigor, inquiry and the relationship between teaching and practice. At PAYETTE, those ideas have continued to evolve through projects such as the Ragon Institute, Land’s Sake Farmstand, Northeastern’s Science and Engineering Precinct and the Holyoke Veterans’ Home.
They also shape OpenLAB, which brings research, critique and academic exchange into the everyday life of the practice.
