Fall 2016 seminar: B.S. URS/B.S./B.A. candidate, city and regional planning, economics, and music
Patrick Braga is a fifth-year undergraduate majoring in urban and regional studies, economics, and music. He was formerly a visiting student at St. Anne's College at the University of Oxford, where he read geography and music. Braga's research has focused on transportation and land use planning as well as histories of urbanism in thought and practice. He is currently working on a book examining bicycling in Boston through the lens of experience and nonprofit community-building. His honors thesis examines the changes in ideologies and practices of urban land use planning in Rio de Janeiro. Braga has managed to bring his interests in urban planning and music together in his forthcoming opera, Eyes That Do Not See, which tells the myth of Prometheus through the architectural theory of Le Corbusier.
