Architect Shauna Gillies-Smith discusses the landscape surrounding the Massachusetts College of Art and Design Residence Hall. Students at MassArt helped with the landscape and building decision making process. They wanted a landscape that expressed their school, and they wanted places to sit. Those elements became the design charge.

The MassArt Residence Hall Landscape Project

CultureNOW dedicates itself to the promotion of diversity in New York through arts education and cultural tourism. The purpose of the organization is to promote awareness of New York City's culturally vast environment by providing the most current information on cultural and civic organizations and artistic and historic resources. It does this in the form of maps, guides and websites tailored to the specific context of a community. CultureNOW began in 2002 from work done by New York/New Visions, the pro bono coalition of design professionals formed in response to the tragic events of September 11th. Podcasts in .mp3 format are avaliable for free from both our website (culturenow.org) and the iTunes store.
