From day one I’ve been a suburban kid, first living in Rockland, MA and moving to Pembroke, MA when I was six. Living most of my life in Pembroke you don’t get to experience true architecture history aside from a few circa houses. The most well known landmark of Pembroke is the Herring Run but that have an architectural significance on the town. When I decided I wanted to go to school for architecture I knew it would be important to go to a school surrounded by great architectural history and Boston was the obvious choice.
I had not really visited Boston much when I was younger so when I first got here, it was difficult to find my way around. Like most I always used the Prudential Center as my “north star” to help find my way around. I always felt it was interesting to actually be surrounded by so much history so on weekends I would walk around Boston just trying to get a mental map of where everything was, whether it be parks, or other buildings. It wasn’t long before I was able to figure out my way around Boston and find just about every historically significant building in the area.
