Please see my paper on Architectural Forensics and Regenerative Design

 

Practiced in earnest in the 20th Century, detrimental land use policies such as redlining, urban renewal, and subsequent highway construction have left a legacy of systemic disenfranchisement in various historically Black neighborhoods across the United States. This disenfranchisement has caused food deserts, environmental degradation, and unequal access to education and other civil systems. The research, Architectural Forensics and Regenerative Design: Archival Mapping of Disenfranchisement and Sustainable Futurities, seeks to leverage archival mapping, photography, articles, and policy documents as forensic evidence. The 3D modeling component will incorporate regenerative design strategies, including net-zero, passive, and appropriate technologies, while considering site climate data analysis and historical context. This practice-led approach culminates in an interactive AR deep map and subsequent architectural plans that can serve as referential tools for those seeking to rebuild these once-neglected places. The work aims to advocate for the sustainable futurity of each neighborhood by envisioning innovative solutions through informed design.
