Adam Paul Susaneck
Adam Paul Susaneck is an architect and urban planner researching how transportation and housing policy have been used as instruments of physical division within urban areas, and how we can reconnect communities divided by the infrastructure choices of the past. His ongoing project, Segregation by Design, aims to catalog the destruction caused by mid-century urban renewal and highway projects, and to highlight the work advocates are doing to heal the divide. Adam has written for The New York Times, The Architect's Newspaper, and others. He is pursuing his PhD in urban planning at the Delft Institute of Technology in the Netherlands and earned his Master of Architecture from Columbia University. He is a Project Manager at AECOM working on transportation projects both in the Benelux and in the Northeast US. His documentary short, The Story of the BQE, produced by the Institute for Public Architecture (IPA) with NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate, uses archival footage and photography to trace the deleterious Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
