New York City has seen rapid redevelopment that has capitalized on previously undesirable locations. Sitting at the top of these locations are the sites that have access to waterfront. Most of the ventures in these areas are private economic interests that only address public value when there is a direct return on profit. If not taken into consideration many of these waterfronts will be absorbed and, with the constant return of people to the urban core, there lies a need to create public and cultural infrastructure. In a city that is filled with numerous icons, parks, theaters, and museums an aquarium is one of the few remaining public typologies that doesn't exist within the immediate area.
On a site that borders the East River and the Eleventh Street Basin in New York City, arch out loud proposes the implementation of a public aquarium and park to provide communal space for the surrounding city, a program that provides valuable waterfront space to residents and tourists alike. arch out loud challenges designers to experiment with conventional interpretations of this program and investigate how it can create a more appropriated relationship to its context.

Dear Prospective CASA Student,
Cathi and I are organizing the 2016 CASA Mexico Study Abroad Program for this summer and we hope you might join us. We know that it will give you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself into the architecture, culture, art and history of Mexico, and a focused attention on your personal goals and perspective on your life as a creative person.
Cathi and I would like to know if you are interested in participating in CASA and to see if you need any further information to help you decide. If you have time over the next few days for a phone conversation, I would be happy to speak with you about the program in more detail. If you would like to talk, please send me your phone number, let me know what day and time works best and I will call you.
We will be flying down to Mexico next week to finalize the plans for this summer's CASA program and we wanted to explain the application process. Since we only take a small, select group of students, we would like to give you the opportunity to sign up while there is still room. Cathi and I are excited about this summer's program and hope you will be able to participate.
For your reference here is the latest CASA application information:
CASA Commitment We will be making the Mexico City hotel reservations soon and need to know exactly how many students will be attending. Therefore, we would appreciate a final decision from you by the end of February.
Program Agreement As soon as you formally commit to the program, we will send you an agreement which will need to be signed by you and your parents.
Program Fee The program fee is $3,800, which includes lodging, two meals per day, entry fees and ground transportation. Air fare and travel insurance are not included. A $1,000 deposit will be due by February 28th to hold your place. Please make out your check to Steven House and mail it to 1499 Washington Street, San Francisco, California 94109. We would like to receive the balance of your payment along with the signed Program Agreement by March 31st.
Flight Schedule The schedule is for all participants to fly into Mexico City on Thursday, May the 26th. Cathi and I will meet you at the airport upon arrival and take you to the hotel in Mexico City. There will be a "Welcome to Mexico Dinner" that evening and then everyone will get settled in before beginning the Mexico City portion of the program on Friday morning. We can also assist you with your airline reservations if needed.
Travel Insurance We suggest that each student take out a travel insurance policy for the duration of the program. CISI offers a very reasonable policy for students studying abroad and here is a link to their plans: http://www.culturalinsurance.com/students/
Passports Students attending the CASA program must have a current passport for travel to Mexico. Foreign students may need to obtain a visa. If you don't have a current passport or visa we suggest you apply for one as soon as possible.
Contact Information If you are interested in attending we would appreciate you sending us your parents' names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for our records.
In the meantime, please let us know if you or your parents have any questions or would like to speak with me. Cathi and I look forward to the possibility of having you as part of our CASA Mexico Study Abroad Program this summer.
Thank you very much.
