Carnegie Mellon Design Students Focus on the Environment
At the end of Carnegie Mellon University’s fall semester, the School of Design held a one-day exhibition for the senior class, showcasing projects from all the areas of design that make up the school’s renowned curriculum. As an alumni and design professional, I found numerous points of interest in the range of work, the way it was presented, the topics addressed through design, and the evolution of CMU’s design program. The latter is indicative of the design field’s ever-changing character and multi-dimensional nature—design constantly redefines itself to encompass...

Data, Urban Strategies, & Visualization
Strategic Data Use to Stabilize Neighborhoods was a conference I attended December 6-7 in Baltimore. Around 200 were in attendance, all of us connecting with data differently in our work: community leaders, municipal staff from cities across the US, researchers, urban planners, financial and real estate professionals and a healthy variety of folks from other backgrounds.

This is especially true in shaping the sustainability dialogue, with concepts that are often difficult to grasp without a visual reference to present data in tangible terms. As a multidisciplinary environment, evolve is increasingly focused on the integration of...

Design Thinking Charrette
This week, we participated in an internal charrette on Design Thinking. evolveEA’s ethos is that design is not only a product but is also a process. This has been integral not only to our graphic and architecture work, but to our sustainable consulting, operational sustainability, and strategic planning projects. We think of design as a methodology for reconstituting an issue. It is not only a problem to be solved, but it also a broader question about our behaviors and desired changes in our physical environment. The charrette was a fun way to have the whole evolveEA team...
