[ALYSSA CURRAN] This collection of work reflects my personal mission to bring sustainable design principles and adaptation strategy into each project I work on. Driven by climate science, social disparities across geographies, and a love for both urban and natural environments, I am passionate about planning and building cities to manage operations, distribute resources, and embrace technology in a more effective and equitable way. I aspire to integrate this type of efficiency into creating and sustaining places that also offer chances for happiness and enjoyment.

01 PLANNING FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The Utuado Hydro Cooperative project proposes reinvestment in legacy hydropower infrastructure to generate and distribute 100% clean energy in a remote
region of the island where some households have remained without power since September 2017 when back-to-back hurricanes struck the island.

ROXBURY DISTRICT-SCALE DEVELOPMENT Neighborhood food, water, and energy production/collection projects in the Roxbury Crossing neighborhood of Boston. A hydrology study and vacant property survey formed the basis of this project’s design strategy. By harnessing the strength of Roxbury’s Urban Farming Institute and identifying key sites for community-driven projects, this proposition employs a “district-scale” approach to community development.

NYC: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLIC SPACES? Independent research project conducted during internship with NYC Department of City Planning. Proposition: GIS data can be used to configure Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) amenities to the needs or desires of the proximate public. Consider a POPS with a high concentration of residents within a 5-minute walk. Vegetated noise buffers, pedestrian through-block corridors and dog waste recepticles might be a good match. POPS: 5 min walksheds of 15 POPS in Manhattan Within walksheds: » 93,000 residents » 398,000 employees » 491,000 people total POPS properties: » 188,000 SF public space » 1,202,000 SF bonus area built » 9,400,000 total SF built Did You Know? For every 1.0 SF of privatepublic space provided, 6.4 SF of bonus private space was built across these 15 POPS.

ADAPT EAST BOSTON CLIMATE RISK: INFRASTRUCTURE Energy and communications infrastructure in East Boston are vulnerable to disruption, including the effects of climate change. As a low-laying peninsula in the Boston Harbor, the neighborhood is susceptible to coastal storms, high tide flooding and sea level rise. The region also experiences seasonal storms, including heavy snow and rainfall events. These conditions require advanced planning to protect public safety, infrastructure, and the economy. A vulnerabilities assessment was performed to examine threats to energy and communications infrastructure in the coming 50 years.

The city has been remapped according to four major activity layers in the dataset: Bodily, Mental, Social, and Economic for men and women (2014 to 2017 student data). For this investigation, gender has been simplified to a female/male binary and assigned based on the judgment of the investigators.
