“Living in the Shade” NYCHA Exhibit Tour - SREC x REUP

In an exhibition space at Brooklyn’s FXCollaborative Gallery, join the Stern Real Estate Club (SREC) and NYU Law Real Estate and Urban Policy Forum (REUP) to take a visual journey through the changing landscapes of open spaces across NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority), beginning with the early years of the organization.

The Authority’s parks and green spaces play the central role in the newly launched exhibit, “Living in the Shade: NYCHA Open Space Past, Present, and Future.” Complete with large-scale architectural models of NYCHA developments, a wide range of archival and contemporary photographs, design renderings and site plans, as well as community testimonials, the exhibition highlights the impact of open space in the lives of millions of public housing residents over 90 years while examining its purpose and evolution through the decades.

The exhibit, running through February 27, is co-curated by Nicholas Dagen Bloom, Professor of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College, and Matthias Altwicker, a practicing architect and Professor of Architecture at the New York Institute of Technology. Mr. Bloom noted that “Living in the Shade” aims to tell a story of how NYCHA open spaces were first designed for residents and how they have been reimagined over the years to meet changing community needs.

The exhibit will be followed with a happy hour at a local brewery nearby, we look forward to seeing you there!
