I intend to redesign the southeastern edge of the Fens Park to integrate the many forms of transportation that serve this area of Boston. As various modes of transportation converge, places are created. These moments of convergence become art spaces to be used by the community and the institutions around the Fens Park. Often in park design automobiles and pedestrians are separated, but cars (and the "T") are a vital part of this city and the way that the Fens is used and valued by many. In my design, the act of making emerges from the closed courtyards and sealed buildings that pepper the area; it enters the public realm and is available to be observed by all that use the park, by whatever mode of transportation. Making becomes an act of sharing.
