I intend to redesign the southeastern edge of the Fens Park to integrate the many modes of transportation that serve this area of Boston. As various modes of transportation converge, places are created. These moments of convergence will become potential art spaces (rooms?) 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.

Huntington Avenue has recently been dubbed The Avenue of the Arts and these new art spaces along the Fenway will be additional pieces of this proposed system. Gatehouse #2 will become a space for sinks, storage, and disposal for community members who choose to participate in this community studio space, providing convenience and therefore facilitating and encouraging the making of art (be it music, dance, painting, sculpture, etc.) in these new places. The design will eventually include outdoor performance (and exhibition?) space.
