Along New York's Waterfront, An Opportunity Without Peer

"Historical maps and old aerial photographs show New York’s shores wrapped with piers reaching out into the water to connect the streets and businesses of a port city to the world," observes Daniel Rojo. "Though many of those piers have long since disappeared, those that remain are being recognized as a significant resource for public (and semi-public) use and many are being transformed into sites of leisure, practice, production, and exposition."

Rojo goes on to explore current and future plans for transforming seven of these relics into event spaces, restaurants, parks, shops, and an "office/incubator space for 'creative companies'".
