Introduction

As a first exercise in getting to know Roslyn, the students were asked to make a virtual visit to Roslyn on-line and in the library, and then to design a souvenir t-shirt of their visit. From the initial 14 t-shirts, two were selected by the students to be combined into the final studio t-shirt, which we wore to our first actual visit.

At the request of the Roslyn  Downtown Association, the students developed proposals to convert a discussed but iconic Roslyn house into a mixed-use structure with live/work spaces for visiting artists and flexible public space.  After measuring and drawing the house, the students explored three proposals, allowing the community to choose a final configuration.  Careful attention was given to developing the site, respecting the original building facade and maintaining existing lines of structural support.
