Abstract
The thesis is an inquiry into the urban waterfront and access to it. In particular, it is about the waterfront of Boston which ought to be more accessible, more public, and more present in the life of the city. The project is then an exploration or discovery of the issues related to the making of a waterfront. I have diverged (for longer than I anticipated) into waterfront infrastructures and spent time looking at existing and preexisting waterfront structures, ail of which informs a design proposal for East Boston's waterfront. The design proposal is intended in its process to illustrate observations, discoveries, and conclusions.
