Siteworks: Understanding Place through Design and Performance

Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Studio for the Global Urban Humanities Initiative; Instructors: Ghigo DiTomasso and Erika Chong Shuch 

This Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Studio focused on the Albany Bulb, a construction debris landfill in San Francisco Bay known for its informal art, spectacular views, and, for many years, a longstanding homeless community. The site is expected to transition from a relatively laissez-faire style of management by the City of Albany to more active management by the East Bay Regional Park District as it is incorporated into the McLaughlin Eastshore State Park.
