Aron Chang is designer and educator based in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. In June 2009, Aron Chang graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) with a degree in architecture. For his thesis, he researched informal garage residences in Southern California's suburbs, and made proposals for how designers, planners, and residents might collectively rework the region's single-family subdivisions to accommodate higher densities and mixed uses. In recent years, he has worked on planning, design, and design-build projects in Louisiana, Mississippi, Mumbai, and Nicaragua. He is very much interested in integrated design processes, in the relationship between infrastructure and design, and in sustainable design at the level of cities and at the scale of daylighting rooms and materials reuse. Aron served as the co-ordinator of the Environment Society at Harvard as well as the co-founder of the Harvard Climate Collaborative. Aron also has strong interests in art and journalism. Prior to attending the GSD, he graduated cum laude from Williams College with degrees in Studio Art and German. At the GSD, he co-founded the student online journal TRAYS. |
