A Fresh Wall of Sustainability To show the potential of design to respond to a burgeoning global population and dwindling arable land, architecture students created a thought-provoking solution: growing mint, chives, and basil at a bar. Using local and recycled materials, Nicholas CassabGheta (B.Arch. ’14), Carly Dean (B.Arch. ’14), and Peter Gudonis (B.Arch. ’14) created the Hydroponic Bottle Wall in April at Stella’s restaurant in Collegetown. Twenty-four wine bottles were mounted on a double-sided wall and fitted with an exposed hydroponic growing system.AAP
Curtains Up in Albion: HPP 2013 Work Weekend The 2013 historic preservation planning (HPP) work weekend, which took place from April 18 to 21, focused on restoring sections of the historic Pratt Opera House in Albion, New York. Situated only a few steps from the Erie Canal, the opera house served the local and traveling public for decades, with seating for hundreds of patrons in its third floor, high-ceilinged space. Now being restored through the efforts of the Albion Main Street Alliance and project leader Katelin Olsen (M.A. HPP ’09), the site hosted 35 Cornell students, alumni, and professors for the weekend, who focused on tasks including glazing, painting, and masonry. Each spring, the HPP work weekend provides an opportunity for current students, faculty, and alumni to collaborate in an attempt to preserve a historic property through shared knowledge and hands-on efforts. Next year’s site will be determined in November. AAP
Smith to Lead Student Assembly In March, Ulysses Smith (B.S. URS ’14) was elected president of the Cornell Student Assembly for the 2013–14 academic year. Smith, who has served on the assembly since his first year at Cornell, previously held the office of vice president for diversity and inclusion. He plans to continue many of the Student Assembly’s current initiatives, including improving campus safety and working with the Greek system. In addition, he hopes to make the assembly more transparent by improving its outreach programs and strengthening its physical presence on campus, as well as work with the administration to improve residential and community life.
