This proposal began as an collage exploration of what might today be considered a Utopian society.  The collages progressively explored the blurring of boundaries between architecture and landscape, beginning with buildings which feature landscape and ending in a world in which buildings are subsumed by landscape.  Through this series of collages, an exploration began into how some of these concepts could be applied to the city of Boston.  With Olmsted’s “Emerald Necklace” as a starting point, I began to conceive of Boston as a network or web of green spaces, both existing and appropriated from unused spaces, all interconnected in a way similar to a subway system, so that one could walk or bike on a green path throughout much of the city.  A major part of the proposal took a portion of Storrow Drive adjacent to the Esplanade, and bermed over it with a low-rise topographical landscape building, thus reclaiming the Back Bay’s connection to the Charles River.
