life SOURCE

Project design by Samantha Altieri, and programming consultation by Edward Loveall.
Project presented in partnership with the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) and the Department of Architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology.
This installation recalls an earlier landscape that once thrived along the Charles River’s edge. Before the last two centuries’ land construction projects, the Charles was a tidal river and its banks vibrant salt marshes full of life, replenished daily through the tide’s natural rhythms. “life SOURCE” temporarily reinserts the natural rhythms of this forgotten landscape into the bustling Boston area by re-creating a salt marsh, an evolving and wildly diverse ecosystem rich in color, texture, form and sound, that supports life.
