The future of an architect is to design an urban process rather than a space.
Shanai and I were excited to make Sarah Wolbert a set of keys yesterday so that she can come and go as necessary in her new role as WBSC Resident Detritivore Systems Analyst & Designer (title subject to change!). It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of her work - she’s presented her thesis at both Cafe Scientifique and Give & Take (seen above).
I was happy to see that Sarah and I both admire the work of architect Teddy Cruz, who the quote above can be attributed to. His work pushes the boundaries of traditional architectural practice and was a huge inspiration as I began to re-imagine myself in the world after college.
We’ve given Sarah carte blanche access to the West Bank Social Center and all the (admittedly not so sustainable) systems within. Our hope is that, over time, WBSC can become a living working laboratory for Sarah’s ideas on urban acupuncture, food supply systems, and detritivore infrastructures. We can’t wait to see what kind of trouble she stirs up in the process!
