Midreview Work
Our midreview was March 3, 2010. Jurors for my project included Laura Kurgan of the GSAPP Spatial Information Design Lab, Guiseppe Lignano of LOT-EK, and Joeb Moore of the Undergraduate Architecture Program at Barnard.
The phenomenon I documented was the advancing arc of deforestation due to clear-cut logging – logging on the move. I am using the network of roads to monitor logging, encouraging more sustainable practices while also adding value to the lumber through transparent certification. Stations are located along roads like BR-163, in three contexts: deep forest, a logging town, and a cleared forest (farming) area. In each of the three contexts, social services and environmental monitoring are piggybacked onto the industrial and enforcement activity.
