This semester, students in the interdisciplinary course Learning Places designed site-specific interventions and investigations in relation to social issues including: air quality, environmental psychology, flooding, income inequity, and affordable housing.
Leading up to the projects, we did field work in public spaces around Downtown Brooklyn and site visits to Red Hook and Gowanus. Guest lecturers from the Architecture, Humanities, Emerging Media Technology, and Hospitality Departments offered new perspectives on urban ecology, land use, and site-specific performance and facilitated some of our field visits and experiments with media making.
This project site serves as an archive of documentation about their public projects with materials related to their project concepts, research, media making, goals, and outcomes.
