The semester-long project challenged 66 students to address the University’s impending extension into Allston. Specifically, the students grappled with one proposed plan for the expansion that entails building four Houses across the River to replace the three now in the Quad.“This year we thought that we could combine the idea of housing with the issues of learning and knowledge, because...
