Hip-Hop Architecture : Learning to Listen to the Post-Occupancy Report the Intersection of Hip-Hop Culture and Architecture Is Clear Statement Hip-Hop architecture : Learning to listen to the post-occupancy report The intersection of Hip-Hop culture and architecture is clear. The rebellious music began by sporadically emerging, from Harlem to of modern housing Brooklyn, in the New York City housing projects. The first “real” Hip-Hop projects in New York song, The Message by Grandmaster-flash, is an objective portrait of these urban centers and how people interact with the buildings. As the City and trying to heal genres evolved, this relationship with the housing projects, often these communities by referenced to as “the blocks” or the “concrete jungle”, is still consulting them. omnipresent. Acknowledging these premises, it becomes important to stop seeing Hip-Hop as only some kind of outlaw music when it truly is a Location : New York City post-occupancy report of modernism.

  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • Farm Fresh a Growing List of Community-Supported Agriculture
    Farm Fresh Summer 2010 A growing list of community-supported agriculture programs offer a different kind of "fast food" Written by Sue Sanders • Photographed by Maggie Wood Shortly after being plucked from the field and washed, the arugula is boxed, loaded on pallets, then placed in refrigerated boxes on Golden Earthworm Farm's truck. The greens are driven for about 90 minutes, from eastern Long Island to St. Mark's Church in Jackson Heights. At the church, the truck is unloaded and boxes are set up for neighborhood residents to pick up. Later that evening, Farm Spot coordinator Sonya Gropman drizzles some of the arugula with olive oil and red wine vinegar, if anything. "It's so fresh it doesn't really need any dressing," she insists. Twenty-four hours from farm to fork, for less than what she'd pay at a supermarket. For Gropman, a healthy meal is as easy as CSA. The letters stand for community-supported agriculture, and while programs like Gropman's Farm Spot have been growing as quickly as asparagus, many Queens residents are still mystified by what they are. CSA programs offer a direct farm-to-customer relationship, eliminating the middlemen. A neighborhood CSA is usually farm-specific when it comes to vegetables. A customer plunks down cash upfront to purchase a "share" in this farm for a full growing season (usually June through October). Prices vary, but $550 is typically the high end for a share, working out to around $21 per week for enough vegetables to feed a family of four.

    N.Y. / REGION Six Blocks, 96 Buildings, Zero Shootings: New Recipe at the Queensbridge Houses About New York By Jim Dwyer Jan. 19, 2017 Standing on a walkway at the Queensbridge Houses in Queens, two young men clutched guns and snarled dares at each other. This might have been a scene out of the 1980s or ’90s, when Nas, one of the hip-hop giants who grew up in Queensbridge, rapped, “Any day could be your last.” But it was an afternoon two months ago, decades on. And stepping between the two men was Shyism Bryant, 41, a retired drug dealer who spent 13 years away from Queensbridge, in state prison. He now works as a violence interrupter at Queensbridge.
