}}Over recent years, a small but active micro-generation ofHarvard GSD students have worked collaboratively and progres-sively to re-engage their design education with real communi-ties outside the studio. Much of this work has emerged fromthe student group Social Change and Activism (SoCA), a hori-zontal organization of GSD students committed to proactivesocial change. SoCA provides the infrastructure and networkof like-minded students to pursue ambitious projects that

bring quality design to local Boston communities and beyond.Recent design projects incubated by SoCA include a teen cen-ter in Lowell, Massachusetts, a library installation in Bos-tons Chinatown, and a community center in Capetown, SouthAfrica. SoCA also supports design education for Boston-areayouth through the Design Initiative for Youth program for8th-graders and summer Project Link program for high schoolstudents.

The work of SoCA is part of the larger project that QuilianRiano has termed critical activism: a new wave of design-ers that--while conscious of both modernisms failed utopianorigins and post-war idealism--continue the search for alter-native models to architectural practice. Today, students andyoung designers believe once again that design can changethe world, contending that participatory design is a toolfor shaping not only form, but also interrelated political,

social and economic systems and processes. By sharing recentprojects by SoCA and other GSD students that leverage designtoward social equity, Dk Osseo-Asare and Quilian Riano willoffer through Dispatch from GSD a primer on how to be a so-cial revolutionary without burning down your design school.

The construction of the JIRR is a negotiation of

topography, political boundaries and economy. Itdivides the communities and legal-politicalboundaries.

The tollway not only separates the physical urban

fabric of city, it is also dilineates the sub-districtboundaries of the city. The sub-districts(kecamatan) are adjacent to the tollway which

meant that the negotiation of the space under-

neath the tollway will either have to be a contes-tation amongst both sides or something larger -the city itself.JORR
