We are pleased to announce that we have been selected by Harvard University for the Memorial Church. The opportunity to work on this project presents the opportunity to reinforce the character and heritage of the Church. Harvard’s Memorial Church is one of the most prominent buildings on the Harvard University campus as it is positioned in Harvard Yard. The Church is used primarily for worship services, but also frequently opens its doors to a number of programs from concerts to outreach programming. We are excited to continue working on the Harvard University campus and for the opportunity to transform a historic and significant space through a sensitive and innovative approach.
The 2025 OpenLAB Boston studio work will be exhibited at Virginia Tech Monday, March 2nd through Wednesday, March 4th.
Please join us for the following events on Monday, March 2nd:
11:00am - Lecture with Parke MacDowell
1:00pm Lobby talk with Kevin Sullivan
This year’s studio identifies seven sites along the frayed edges of Boston’s Greenway. The Greenway is a one-mile-long linear park running through the heart of the city, reconnecting downtown Boston with its waterfront. Many of the parcels along its edges remain undeveloped and present mute, blank facades to the public realm. Addressing and repairing these edges through acts of infilling, layering, grafting, framing, and placemaking is the core focus of the studio—SUTURE.
