The AIA New York Chapter Historic Buildings Committee, which I co-chair, has organized a tour of the newly completed El Barrio Artspace, an adaptive reuse project, which has converted the historic PS 109, originally designed by prolific New York City school architect C.B.J. Snyder, into 90 low and moderate income live-work units for local artists. The tour will be led by Matthew W. Meier, AIA, Partner at HHL Architects, who designed the renovation.
Thursday, September 18th, 4:00 pm. El Barrio Artspace, 215 East 99th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues, Manhattan. Details and registration: http://cfa.aiany.org/index.php?section=calendar&evtid=7561
