TANGIBLE RECIPROCITY
Spring 2025, MUD STUDIO FOOD SYSTEMS:
Collaboration: Zhejiang University
Instructor: Kathryn Ewing, Elain Kwong.
Site: Taishan, China
The Taishan region has a lengthy and robust history of cultural exchange, or reciprocity, that can be seen both in it's architectural character and in it's industrial and economic heritage. By placing the winery and pottery center in the relative middle of the site, we create a strong node to connect and draw people from Tingjianxu to Haikobu and vice versa.
UPGRADING KHAYELITSHA
Fall 2026, MUD RESILIENT NEIGHBOURHOODS
Instructor: Kathryn Ewing, Yani Truter
Site: Khayelitsha, Capetown
The living habitats for people have been pushing away from water through the land-filling process. We tried to recall its identity by remaining its landscape footprints and adapted different approaches to cope with natural risks. A hospitable neighborhood could be built here to connect the South Boston community and complete the Emerald Necklace.
