The Hays Woods Project

The Hays Woods Project is a component of the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University.  Using the study of the Pittsburgh Palisades Project as a platform of inquiry, The Hays Woods project seeks to examine:

  • The value of the natural world in the urban environment
  • The methods in which art can be used to effect social, environmental and political change
  • How educational methods can be used to effect social, environmental and political systems
