Joseph Barrick, a senior at The Catholic University of America’s School of Architecture, was awarded Honorable Mention for Community Programming in the Water Works competition sponsored by Gowanus by Design (www.gowanusbydesign.org/water_works).  The project was advised by CUArch Associate Professor Miriam Gusevich and Diane Reynolds as environmental Consultant. It addressed one of the most pressing contemporary environmental challenges of our time: how to redeem a toxic Superfund site in the path of Hurricane Sandy, while strengthening the fabrics of a growing urban node.
