URBAN REDEVELOPMENT Individual groups conduct case studies on specifc architectural projects in order to assess the conditions of the current site and apply them to their design proposals. During this portion of project, each group member was instructed to find two precedents that support each of the three case studies.

Partner Sumayyah Raji was tasked with Pocket Park, Linear Park & Square Park case studies; Tiffany Dockins was assigned to the Waterfront, Market, Square, & Residential/Commercial Boulevards portion of the case studies; I was tasked with conducting case studies on the Piazza, Elevated Public Space & Courts.

Through the uncovering of these case studies, design interventions were created that summarizes design initiatives in relation to its precedents.
