What is this?

(in conversation with Isabella Stewart Gardner Musuem & Hyde Square Task Force)

A MBTA-styled soundscape of Boston’s Latin Quarter.
Plug into the sounds.
Do you sense the Latin Quarter?

We are…

• Re-imagining Boston’s Latin Square

  This reimagination of the space starts from a design question. Imagine you are the designer who gets to decide where the T stations go. Here’s our version**

• Introducing a creative interface to mapping

  This is a map, but we encourage you to plug-in to these stations of sounds. You are invited to our virtual soundscape of the area. Do you hear anything farmiliar? Do you wonder where the place is?

• Throwing a question at the community and the auidence,
  “how does your soundscape look like?”
