INTERSTICE Principal Presents to Urban Design Students at UC San Diego

Zoee Astrachan, Principal at INTERSTICE Architects, lectured at the University of California, San Diego, for an Urban Design Studio taught by Professor Susan Peerson, focused on combining urban design and planning skill sets to study the unexplored potential of alleyways in the urban fabric. INTERSTICE re-envisions Alleyways to strengthen neighborhood and community, by activating this under-utilized urban space to create supportive green infrastructures for place-making and programmed use. Zoee presented our Lower Polk Alleyways District Vision Plan, ongoing initiatives and completed projects as case studies,  partnering with city agencies, private developers, and local stakeholders.
