Data Collection

 Our studios project was a culmination of research, site visits, and data taken from clients and online resources. We visited Old Colony to assess the state of it and how we could improve upon it. We analyzed many different topics, including how many people used the street, weather they were in cars or on foot, the conditions of the sidewalk and street, how much noise pollution Old Colony had, what kind of buildings were there, and then we mapped it all out and started diagramming. We used more data to figure out how to improve the roads, such as crash data from 2020-2023, and drew the ideal street.

I consistently put effort into staying focused, which is very rare for an architecture based studio. I still lost quite a bit of interest and steam about halfway through and became less productive. I think I might be more distractable when the work is mostly research based, seeing as I have trouble sitting and reading, and usually don't comprehend the contents of the text. Some of the resources were in PDF's, which my "read out loud" browser extension does not work for. Finding resources and documenting them was also quite tricky for me. I will try to further improve upon this.
