Gowanus Lounge: Serving Brooklyn

Upcoming: "New Voices on the Gowanus"

February 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Here’s a reminder about the forum taking place tonight (2/4) about Public Place that will feature professors and students from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Civil Engineering and Architecture that have been looking at the Public Place site. It’s called New Voices on the Gowanus: Focus on the Public Place. It takes place at 6:30PM at the PS 58 Auditorium, which is located at 330 Smith Street (entrance on Carroll Street). We posted about it a couple of weeks ago, but here’s a refresher:

Hear new voices and up to now missing points of view “that of academic and scientific scholars,” the Professors and students from Columbia University Graduate Schools of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Planning & Preservation who have been studying our Gowanus for over two years have just published a book (147 pages in full color) with their complete research, findings, theories, ideas and recommendations.

Public Place is the gravely polluted site between Smith Street and the Gowanus Canal that has attracted proposals from five developers.
