    Courses

    During fall 2015, we led a Waste-to-Energy seminar for Harvard Graduate School of Design students. During spring 2016, we are conducting a graduate architecture studio course, where students are able to design new and innovative models for waste-to-energy facilities.

    Design Speculations and Hybrids

    We will use research, case studies, and design work from the Architecture of Waste courses to create some innovative architectural models and speculations for Waste-to-Energy facilities.

    Beginning Book Production

    Throughout the three years of the project, we have been writing a book on Waste-to-Energy, and the role architecture can play in designing these industrial buildings. From February 2016 and continuing into Year 3 of the project, we are finalizing and editing book contents and layout.
