ARC 470 TIME CAPSULE: NEW LONDON

The historic New London City Hall building (built in 1856 and renovated in 1912) is currently slated to undergo a major renovation. In collaboration with the New London city government, this seminar will prepare a proposal for the contents and design of a time capsule to be placed within the building during construction. Students will help shape research trajectories through field trips, interviews, and possible studio work. Research topics may include the history of the building’s design and construction, the history of New London and its built fabric, life in the city today, and the physical design of the time capsule and its contents.
