Fantastic use of an empty shop front in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a radio station which creates a community and activates the street! Love it! Need to do it in Glasgow! #nyc #newyork #manhattan #les #usa #america #radio #street #station #architecture #east #village #intervention #temporary #city (at East Village Radio)
A quick trip to the New Museum book store today with @levi_h and @_mark_rosen_, picked up a copy of ‘Public Space - The Familiar into the Strange’. Can’t wait to read it! #nyc #newyork #manhattan #les #usa #america #architecture #design #sana #museum #gallery #blue #sky #books #contemporary #art (at New Museum)
