ABOUT :
Storefront for the Commons is an exploratory documentation and architectural prototype to explore how to manifest ways of designing pluralistic spaces in our contemporary cities encompassing a multiplicity of individuals, ideologies and organizational needs.
Through text, interviews, precedents, prototypes, and live interactions, the project use storefront as the minimum viable product to explore how commons could be conceived and maintained. The goal is to engage different stakeholders to participate in the ongoing dialogue, and to stimulate further actions for various types of urban commons in New York City and beyond.
