Abstract
This studio will radically frustrate these problematic formulations of the yard, however. Instead, we will encounter the Yard (the proper noun version) as both an idea and a place: an array of typologies which operate at different scales, support different ecologies, and tell different stories.
The studio will examine a 13-block strip of West Harlem, using the Yard as an investigative strategy for uplifting current social uses of land while inventing new architectural typologies, forms of media and archiving, and public engagement strategies. The goal of the studio, ultimately, is to discover and promote forms of communal gathering, endorse and engender relationships with nature and land, and invite students and community members alike to see the land itself along Saint Nicholas Park as a repository of Black and more-than-human subjectivities.
