NEIGHBORGAPBRIDGE

In this interdisciplinary class artists and designers assume the role of ethnographer to investigate our immediate neighborhood. Otis College of Art and Design students partner with the Westchester Senior Center focusing on three investigative phases: Neighbor, Gap + Bridge. By observing and analyzing the distinguishing characteristics of both their own site and the Senior Center site, as well as the space that separates them, students begin to develop the visual language of reciprocity, and compassion necessary to propose design solutions to connect these spaces.
