Gentrification is caused by a product of racist housing policies, economic inequality, and the commodification of housing. It is a political problem with political solutions. We believe that community organization is key to any just response to the forces of gentrification.

Our design focuses on creating a space that fosters collective action.

Challenge: The area has experiencing significant demographic shifts over time, and in recent years gentrification has We aim to support diverse forms of political activity,been including protests, meetings, and celebrations.

A large, open area on Cherry Street is envisioned to accommodate large crowds, allowing easy disproportionately affected Black and other minority communities, disrupting existing community bonds. access to the streets for demonstrations. A central space will serve as a hub for speeches, performances, and gatherings, while smaller, thoughtfully designed spaces will provide Solutions: The design encourages people to gather and (re)build strong community connections by providing welcoming opportunities for more intimate meetings and creative play.

Union Bay Natural Area, Seattle, WA (Ecosystems Studio 2024)

Challenge: The Union Bay Natural Area, once a landfill and now an important urban wilderness, is a valuable public asset with the potential to serve as a natural cooling site.

Solutions: By redesigning the paths and wetland flow within the site, we aim to create a more interactive and immersive experience with nature. The enhanced wetland features also mitigate summer heat while providing habitat for wildlife.

04 DESIGNING FOR PLAY Independent Research - Thesis - (2026)

Challenge: Currently, many neighborhood playgrounds offer limited use and experience due to a lack of professional design intervention. Many are similar to each other, with uniform structures and strict safety standards, resulting in repetitive and predictable environments. Children need high-quality playgrounds that provide moments of surprise, challenge, and achievement, while allowing space for imagination and creativity.

Solutions: Research shows that playgrounds should be located within half a mile of every home to improve accessibility for children and busy parents. In addition, neighborhood playgrounds should offer diverse experiences and respond to the different needs of children and the community.
