“25 FEET Off Higgins” is a truly student organized zine publication that aims to showcase student work on an accessible and personal scale. We are unofficial, unpolished, nonbureaucratic, and off Higgins. The book’s title acknowledges that Higgins is where we emerged and where we were originally from. However, we must stay away from its jurisdiction. 25 feet from Higgins is where students are allowed to smoke. “25 FEET Off Higgins” is where students are allowed to express themselves freely while having proximity to their base. It is a discussion from beyond Higgins; to be brought back into Higgins. 021

The approach to the organization for this project is parts of a whole. A taxonomy of different spatial chunks was used to experiment with potential combinations of unit/shared space arrangements. A rectangular bar is split into 9 different chunks in the arrangement of a 3 x 3 grid. Each chunk houses 5-8 units and has at least one shared program. The scattered shared programs encourage travel both up, down, and across the building for those living in it.
