GSD Harvard – Fall 2013
Master Studio carried on during the Fall semester at the Urban Planning and Design Department at Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD), under the title “Urban waste, urban design”. As designers, we will aim to streamline the process and systems by which waste is created, disposed of, and managed at both the human (individual) and urban scale (community).
On October 4, 2013, I took a tour of Cradles to Crayons, a Boston area non-profit organization that creates gift packs and backpacks for children ages 0-12. I learned how an organization processes donated goods and prepares them for distribution and also what is done with donated items that they do not use.
This week I also sent out my survey to 115 nonprofit organizations in the Boston area. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JMJWF7L

We applied the Harvard Student Sustainability Grant Program at this week. See below for the detail of this program:
“The Harvard Student Sustainability Grant Program provides seed funding to graduate and undergraduate students/student groups for environmental projects that contribute to Harvard’s campus sustainability goals. Areas of sustainable focus include: energy reduction, waste and resource reduction, community awareness, health, and research to inform policy. “
Project proposal and work plan are submitted.
