NATHAN FRENCH [MLA RISD 2009]

As a LEED Accredited Professional, Nathan French strives to manipulate systems which appropriate neglected infrastructure to maximize social and ecological impact on their surroundings, provide active environments, and encourage emergent systems.  

His work includes skatepark advocacy and design, urban design and planning, stream restoration, alternative energy production, and transportation planning. Placement of work is never random or expedient, always vastly important, and a generator for the project.

Civic fuck ups are exposed as attributes within the urban system which emphasize collision, integration, negotiation and avoidance between systems.  Tactical interventions appropriate these design miscalculations to create intrigue and facilitate emergent change – whether symbiotic, parasitic, opportunistic, or adjacent – and result in the complex functioning of networked landscapes.
