Resuscitation
01
Binghamton, NY Studio Project
Resuscitation is about a flood prone neighborhood which seems to be forgotten by greater Binghamton. This area has the lowest income and highest diversity. This neighborhood has no real identity, no sense of community, and the children are at great risk. The Susquehanna river is blocked off and has created a negative connotation in the neighborhood.This neighborhood is in need of revitalization and Resuscitation aims to address the Susquehanna river edge, housing typolgies, street conditions, and lack of activities.

Reviving a broken street with high vacancy in West Baltimore. Mount St serves as the spine while the blocks serve as the vertebrae which supports the spine. Each vertebrae includes communal lawns, row homes, apartments, and hybrid homes creating social, communal, residential, and ecological rejuvination

Diverting the Del

Buffalo, NY Studio Project/ Competition Design
*By Justin Leanza & Max D’Aurizio
Diverting the Del DERIVES formal inspiration from natural diversions of tributaries, watersheds, and the man-made forms of Buffalo’s diverting rail lines. This design LINKS parks and public spaces through a green network using a native planting strategy to divert existing ecosystem services and wildlife corridors through the surrounding urban fabric, RESTORES and expands existing vegetation and riparian wetland zones to create functional and highly experiential spaces, and CONNECTS communities with neighborhood amenities throughplanned diversions that generate public engagement and a sense of local pride.

MITIGATING INEQUITY IN SANDTOWNWINCHESTER AND HARLEM PARK
06
Sandtown-Winchester andHarlem Park, Baltimore, MD Thesis
Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem Park in West Baltimore have been plagued with many issues in their physical environment due to systemic racism and are in poor condition due to it. While these communities have fallen by the wayside, the ethics of design practice have come into question for disadvantaged communities. This thesis establishes a design approach for Harlem Park and Sandtown-Winchester. It displays the impacts and evolution of systemic racism in Baltimore from English colonization to the Atlantic Slave Trade, Jim Crow Laws, segregation, redlining, blockbusting, and urban renewal. This thesis shows potential design interventions, their origins, and how they function. This work serves to shed light on the disparity between black communities and white communities, which in part falls on the designer. This work aims to establish a different method of thinking for disadvantaged communities and establish the designer’s role in these communities.

In Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem Park, Little Islands features a maker space for people to learn skills in fabrication and construction. The landscape is the place for communal engagement. West Baltimore has been subjected to inequity created from systemic racism in the past. This project served to show a way to combat inequity in West Baltimore. At this place, people can learn urban gardening and landscaping. The landscape features green spaces arranged to encourage flowing through the site like water. The spaces feature outdoor classrooms, rock gardens, flower gardens, and sculpture spaces, all powered by the maker space members for the community to enjoy. The significance is encouraging black ownership in black communities and calling for more working black hands in the built environment.
