ENGINEERING - SCIENCES

Members of Odd Yard Zine seek to understand, analyze, and apply Urban Design and Architecture to our everyday lives. We wish to provide a better future for ourselves and others. OddYard strives to provide an interaction between art and the city. We want to understand, analyze, and apply urban design and architecture to our everyday lives. One objective is to learn and research; take in all the necessary information to be well equipped and informed for our environment, to design, to build. We hope to take and apply this information to research, writing and art, creating a product whose language is understandable. Because we are new to this topic of research, green in the field of urban design, we decided to focus on the needs of ourselves and our peers. Our research, art and writing is aimed at building a framework for change in the urban environment; looking at ways to shift the relationship between planner and user. Our observations on how people interact with the urban environment is the base for our research. Our work is starting small with the intent to widen in scope. Above all, we aim to display as broad a spectrum of people and issues as possible. We will purposefully use this medium for voices of the POC, disabled, LGBTQA+ and others whose voices have been marginalized in the history of Western urban design. With this in common, members of OddYard step forward to become engaged and active within the urban environment through art, research and writing.
