Welcome
The built environment is a resulting cause of our present climate crisis.
This site promotes the design aesthetic of a designer working from within the waste; envisioning circular potentials to redefine the relationship between the built and natural environments. By working with salvaged materials at various scales and taking a systems approach to designing, this work questions the impact of time, the influence of community, and their situating in place.
Changing climate, while a crisis, provides the space, and leverage, to institute the changes that must be made to right wrongs and form resiliency — and in this process, utilize design as a tool of injecting novelty, nostalgia, and innovation.
Let’s just (re)design with circular and regenerative design strategies and understand its a simple practice—Andrew Boghossian: Construction | Design | Experiments
about me
Andrew Boghossian is the Deconstruction Coordinator at Finger Lakes ReUse.
As Deconstruction Coordinator, Andrew leads salvage and deconstruction operations in the Finger Lakes region with a hybrid model of workforce development and volunteer-based workshops: teaching deconstruction skills and maximizing the diversion of building materials from landfills.
Through working across project stages in the AEC Industry and obtaining a Bachelors in Architecture from Cornell University, Andrew has performed research, designed, built, and managed projects and come to consider how building can be done with awareness to the cycles of land, resources, and community to support system shifts.
