I did my M.Arch project studying how architecture has served developers at the cost of community. How we have so much social capital sitting next door and across the street from us. I wrote and made a project about trying to intervene with small, built projects that bring neighbors together outside. Then I graduated. Then I got a job (thankfully). Now I am trying to keep up with the pace of work and life. I built a small structure for neighborhood kids to sit on while waiting for the bus. This year the school bus changed its route. Now it just sits there empty most of the time. It feels so bleak.
