Design Workshop : bronXscape

The Design Workshop offers students the unique experience of designing and building their own project. 

This project allowed 14 students to collaborate on a project in the Bronx for the Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter, an “organization committed to ending homelessness by providing men and women with housing and support that can transform their lives.”

The program is a new rooftop build-out and an addition to a recently completed building, run by NCS and dedicated to individuals who have aged out of the foster care system.  The rooftop addition is aimed at providing a green space for the residence; a space in which
residents can relax, socialize and engage in constructive and community building activities organized around horticultural activities in a safe and tranquil setting.
