Cammy Kuo is a candidate for a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture in Urban Landscape at Northeastern University. For the creation of this website, their background in urban landscape architecture and graphic and information design is a foundation in supporting and visualizing their evolving understanding of the living landscape through urban environmental justice, community activism, and social justice. As a designer and an inhabitant, Cammy is fascinated by the gravity and the ephemerality of our lived spaces and spatial imaginaries.

Created for the course Social Justice & the City: Race, Space & Ethics in Architecture & Urbanism, this website analyzes ethical practices in the design of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design and planning, conveying these ideas through interactive web design. Through synthesizing a range of interconnected concepts (technologies of the body; the social construction of race; the racialization of space; justice, democracy, and the public, the spatialization of race; politics and aesthetics; planning activism; geo-narratives; intentional communities for a new social order; new models for practice; housing; the right to landscape; and the right to the city) this website explores how these concepts intersect at the border–a tangible, intangible symbol and manifestation of our divided landscapes; this proposal for an alternative model of practice suggests that liminal border spaces are central to the living landscape and must be placed at the forefront of design negotiations.
