Above the Pavement 鈥� The Farm!
WORK Architecture Company is pleased to announce that their new
book Above the Pavement 鈥� The Farm! has been
published by Princeton Architectural Press. WORKac was founded in
2003 by Amale Andraos (B.Arch. 1996) and Dan
Wood.
Forty years after French protestors took to the streets with the
rallying cry "Sous les pav茅s, la plage!" (Beneath the pavement, the
beach!), a new form of radical expression took shape at MoMA's
P.S.1 courtyard in Queens. Above the Pavement 鈥� The
Farm! reveals the groundbreaking efforts of WORKac and
their team of more than 150 collaborators鈥攆armers, politicians,
soil scientists, engineers, students, and artists鈥攖o create a new
type of sustainable urban infrastructure. With contributions by
artist and agricultural activist Fritz Haeg, architectural
historian Meredith TenHoor, architect Winy Maas, and head chef
Michael Anthony of the Gramercy Tavern.
In celebration, there will be a panel discussion at the
Horticultural Society on Wednesday, June 23, 2010.
