The major sights of Boston, as well as tidbits of history and arcane lore are as close as your smartphone with a new app that just rolled out thanks to 4 GSD students. Ingrid Bengtson (MArch ’15), Sayli Korgaonkar (MArch ’14), Eduardo M. Llinas-Messeguer (MAUD ’13) and Josh Schecter (MArch ’15) worked with CultureNOW, a NY-based organization that has mapped thematic walking tours and produced photos and podcasts of hundreds of buildings, parks and works of public art.
The local project is part of CultureNOW’s grand scheme, a digital National Gallery of art and architecture in the public realm. Scott Simpson (MArch ’75) is a member of the advisory council in Boston. Learn more about the “Museum Without Walls.”
