About the Research Studio:
Through a rigorous and comprehensive research on the historical, political and economic development of building typology and urban form in Fall River and New Bedford, a group of Northeastern University graduate students prepared a research document and proposed a series of architectural and urban solutions. During the course of two semesters in 2017-2018 academic year, the group interacted with city officials, studied governmental reports and policies for the regeneration of the historical centers, residential neighborhoods, abandoned textile mills and the waterfront. Through their design proposals these students address the specific limitations of the real estate market, infrastructural equipment and transportation.
