Spring 2021
Design Intern
STOSS Landscape Urbanism
Physical study model for in-office design studies on the Moakley Park Waterfront Resiliency project. Eight pieces, each measuring 4’ X 8’ modeled the 60 acre park.
Moakley Park Project Statement: The Moakley Park Preliminary Resilience Plan transforms one of Boston’s largest waterfront open spaces from a largely single-use recreational facility into a resilient and multi-functional 21st century community park. Accessible by public transportation and within 15 minutes of a diverse set of neighborhoods, including South Boston, Chinatown, South End, Roxbury, and Dorchester, Moakley is poised to be an unprecedented park for these adjacent communities and for all of Boston, one that provides safe and equitable access to high quality waterfront open space, community resources, as well as athletics and events for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. The plan also addresses the city’s most pressing climate justice issues, including stormwater management, urban heat island effect, and coastal flooding. The coastal flood protection is designed to protect the park and surrounding neighborhood from a predicted sea level rise of 21-40” in the next 50-60 years
