The Institute for Public Architecture with Van Alen Institute, Red Hook West Resident Association, and Pave Academy Charter School invite you to participate in a series of free and open to the public community design workshops where Brooklyn residents modify large scale physical models of the urban fabric along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) in Red Hook/Carroll Gardens. Using a removable kit of parts including buildings, landscapes, and alternatives to the highway, participants share their visions for the future of their neighborhoods.
