Brooklyn Exchanges
The Brooklyn Exchanges exhibit, an interesting blend of past and future, is the result of work by Pratt architecture students exploring different facets of development in and near downtown Brooklyn, including the proposed Atlantic Yards project.
Many historical photographs, discovered as part of the research into history of the area, are on display. Students have contemplated the future, ranging from the gargantuan, developer-driven visions of Atlantic Yards and City Point, to the community-based UNITY Plan, to more futuristic ideas that might never be proposed but are meant as a way to achieve a more open approach to imagining what might be built.
An online component of the exhibit is available to anyone who wants to give their ideas as to what they would like to see happen in the following areas:
The Exhibit continues through June 1 at Metropolitan Exchange, 33 Flatbush Avenue
Gallery Hours: May 16-June 1, Wednesday-Saturday 12-6 p.m.
