Answering 7 Questions in NYC Flock House

When asked to speculate about the role of Flock House as an idea that might address population displacement and suffering, she responded. “I see these as a chance to create a sense of community – help citizens establish a sense of participation in the environment, thus gaining a stronger commitment to it’s vitality.”

When asked if she would like to contribute to a design and building team, she wrote, “I would want to share in the experience – watch them come together.”

Her sense of the NYC Flock House is of a “stage-coach.” She “imagines it would glow at night.”

When building her model in the NYC Flock House, she described, “You come in and feel the shelter.”

She made her model of Bristol paper with scissors, marked with a pen. Its design is a “Shade structure.”
