GRAPES

Overview

Led by Jean Phifer, Adjunct Professor, FAS Fine Arts, and Natalie Jeremijenko, Assistant Professor in Art, Steinhardt

This multidisciplinary project will draw upon faculty expertise in design, architecture, sociology and psychiatry in order to evaluate solutions to the challenge of public safety for rooftop environmental projects such as renewable energy installations and green roofs. The project will include a set of perimeter barrier designs and analysis, as well as a publication documenting the research and conclusions of the study.

Preliminary renderings and materials analysis research have been developed, with additional analysis and prototype-building proceeding in spring 2009.
