New York Lab Learnings
From August 3 to October 16, 2011, the Lab was located in First Park, a New York City Parks property at Houston Street and Second Avenue. New York Lab Team members Omar Freilla, Charles Montgomery, Olatunbosun Obayomi, and Kristian Koreman and Elma van Boxel of architecture firm ZUS (Zones Urbaines Sensibles) developed the Lab's rich roster of events together with the Guggenheim's curatorial team. The programs included tours, workshops, debates, roundtable discussions, screenings, performances, experiments, and “Comfort Series” lectures given by such urban luminaries as Saskia Sassen, Elizabeth Diller, and Juliet Schor.
