On Friday, September 30th, the Center for Architecture will open their exhibit Authenticity and Innovation, showcasing projects that are not officially designated New York City landmarks but have been saved and revitalized, adding to the vibrant mix of old and new that characterizes New York’s dynamic urbanism.
Among the 28 projects featured, Dattner Architects’ PS 186 project will be on display. Led by a dynamic partnership of the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, Monadnock Development LLC and Alembic Community Development, the revitalized PS 186 has transformed and restored a historically significant, yet dilapidated, former public school building in New York City’s Harlem’s Hamilton Heights community into a community jewel.
The exhibition will be on display from September 30, 2016-January 14, 2017.
