As curator, designer and photographer for this exhibition at the AIA New York Center for Architecture, I structured a visual conversation between archival materials, vintage architectural photography, new research, and new photography to explore the legacy of the New York State Urban Development Corporation's humanistic approach to building affordable housing. |

As Project Director for this National Park Service-commissioned research, I worked with two colleagues, Dr. Setha Low and Yvonne Hung to build an ethnographic understanding of people's connections to the Statue. Our report helps the park in future programming and outlines a typology of modes of place attachment based on our research. |

This project explores personal neighborhoods
of the mind that constitute the physical neighborhood of Prospect
Heights, Brooklyn. It is structured around recorded, narrated neighborhood
walks guided by several
residents and the photographs that
I make that document those walks. It is a DVD and
the subject of my Masters thesis. |

This is my collaborative project
with residents of the low-income housing development, Urban Horizons.
The project is about the relationship between the building’s
thoughtfully architected spaces and the residents’ building
of their own lives. The project was exhibited at the National Arts
Club and is a work-in-progress. |

This project was begun at the De la Vega Art Show. I asked visitors
if they would allow me to photograph them, and to respond to
the other guided tour projects and talk
to me about where they would take me on a tour of their important
places. This web piece combines their portraits with recordings
of their evocative stories. |

An exhibtion in a Harlem playground, and the site of the Playground
project, where I installed the Parque Lezama, Marda's Photographs
and Tendai's Tour projects.
Visitors
listened
to
my "tour
guides" stories and could each hold editions of the tour photograph
books. |

I began this project to understand the
two Buenos Aires, Argentina neighborhoods that surround the park.
Conceiving
of urban public meeting spaces as integral to the definition of
a community’s identity, these photographs seek
to find the everyday patterns of community-making in this historically
rich, neighborhood-rooted park. |

Peti’s tour was given to me in August 1999; it is a tour
of Villa 31, a squatter settlement in the center of Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
She and her daughter gave me a tour of their community and their
photo albums. The photo essay and personal narrative that this
project became was
published
in
disClosure:
a Journal
of Social
Theory. |

Tendai’s Tour is a 16-year-old boy’s walk from school
to his old house, and was part of a larger series of tours that
I took with residents in Tower Hamlets and Hackney, East London.
His story takes the form of a small book, where images and the
transcription of his tour are intertwined. |

This is a project of the tour of
her life that Marda Stark, an elderly woman in London's East End,
gave to me through her photo album. It consists
of a box of reproductions of Marda’s album pages,
interleaved with my photographs of her and her house, and an
audio piece of Marda’s narrative performance of her family
stories.
