\nSarah D. Roosevelt Park — \u00a9 Brian Rose<\/p>\n

We visited the New Museum block party in Sarah Roosevelt park yesterday–despite the continuing heat. While I talked to David Mulkins, the director of the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors<\/a>, an organization trying to save the historical character of the Bowery, Brendan, my son, busied himself creating a model tenement out of colored paper. His design is probably not what the preservationists had in mind–but I like it a lot.<\/p>\n

\nBMW Guggenheim Lab — \u00a9 Brian Rose<\/p>\n

A few blocks north I snapped a few pictures of another example of cutting edge Lower East Side architecture, the BMW Guggenheim Lab<\/a>, a temporary structure to serve as a sort of interactive urban think tank. Exactly how it will function–besides being a cool object–I am not sure. Designed by\u00a0Atelier Bow-Wow of Tokyo, the structure is described as a tool box from which things can be raised or lowered to the ground level.<\/p>\n

I like the way the structure is inserted into a gap between a row of\u00a0 tenements creating a passage linking E1st and Houston Street. I’ve photographed this gap and adjacent open space before–one image is in my book Time and Space on the Lower East Side<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to my book. I have decided to work with a small New York publisher with the intention of bringing out Time and Space on the Lower East Side<\/em> by the end of the year. I<\/span> will provide more details later, once the deal is finalized, but I am confident that this will be a beautiful and successful book. It will require money, however, and I am planning to make use of Kickstarter, a web based fund raising platform for creative projects. I will, of course, let everyone know when the campaign is launched.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the current Blurb<\/em> version of Time and Space<\/em> remains available–but not for long. Once the new book is set into motion, the Blurb<\/em> book will be withdrawn, never to appear again. Book collectors take note. The St. Mark’s Bookshop has a few signed copies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
