The Graduate Thesis Masterplan is cited on a former industrial 100 acre parcel in North Allston, Boston, Ma. The proposed Plan intends to revitalize the complex site, which was used in the early 19th century for the burgeoning pharmaceutical industries at the time.The general principle behind the Masterplan is to stitch together the scattered and underutilized parcel with three distinct surfaces of activities programmed to provide Commercial, Entertainment and Public Park amenities.
A network of orthogonal paths describe the principal connections to the three surfaces. The benefit of the intersecting paths which runs through the entire site is to facilitate movement from one surface to the other, while also triggering unexpected discoveries through the distinct functions each surface serves. Ultimately, the proposed Plan will serve as a landmark development and a place of civic engagement for the community of Allston.
