In Spring 2022, we identified a problem in our local Tufts/Medford infrastructure: the intersection of Boston Ave and College Ave. The students scoped this problem by conducting interviews with users and researching the history of the intersection. We brainstormed multiple solutions and decided to model a skybridge connecting the JCC, SEC, and top of the hill. The students constructed their model using 3D printed buildings, a laser cut skybridge and map, and small figurines of people and cars. The model, along with a QR code directing visitors to the students website, was displayed in the SEC lobby during finals period. The website contained links to a video the students made about their process, their Problem Statement and Design Process, and a feedback form about the current intersection and their new design. Check out their website here! (linktr.ee/ene10)
