The Power of Landscape-driven Design : Contemporary Urban Interweaves Proposal for Historic Salem, MA

Abstract

As cities evolve in response to economic shifts, technological advancements, and historic and political changes, the dynamics of urban landscapes undergo continuous transformation. This study explores the potential for landscape-driven urban design in downtown Salem, Massachusetts. In a two-acre site, by leading with landscape, the graduate interior architecture design studio project aims to create a framework that accommodates contemporary ideas about urbanity and fosters a rich and vital city life for residents, workers, and visitors. The design studio delves into city context and processes shaping urban landscapes, emphasizing the intricate interplay between larger site contexts and specific project objectives. Through rigorous analysis and research, students aim to redefine the site for the city fabric and identity for the community.
