description: How do we begin to redefine the lost and undefinable? Through exemplary work, dedication to responsibility and societal catalyst we hope the environment in which we share can grow and prosper for coming generations. I am convinced that a beneficial urbanity can only be achieved through comprehensive and reformative architecture that is entailable [sic] to redefine territorial boundaries and identify in an urban context. Reformative architecture is used to implement and inspire catalytic change within an environment or series of networks prescribed to a space that is otherwise forgotten and underutilized in an urban fabric. In this thesis the area of this study is along Melnea Cass Boulevard, located in Boston's Lower Roxbury neighborhood. These areas provide an opportunity to facilitate and enhance the cognitive perception of the user and reconnect underutilized urban spaces to larger local and city networks of routine. As the urban and exurban population expands, so to should the focus of these opportunities to reconnect places and people.
