Local Liquidities

Take a walk around the block with me.

For those who might not know, I became a New City Critics Fellow at the Architectural League of New York and Urban Design Forum back in September.

Earlier this week, Urban Omnibus published excerpts from our first writing assignment. We were tasked to take a walk around our respective neighborhoods and reflect on what we encountered on our strolls around the block. The endeavor was framed as “criticism as an act of love,” a practice of experiencing, discoursing, and sense-making rooted within relations of care and connection to a particular place.

As we embark on the holiday season, many of us are wrestling with the idea of home and all of its tangible and emotional complexities. In light of this, I’ve decided to publish publishing the full piece I wrote here. I hope you’ll join me as I share what I noticed about my beloved little slice of Brooklyn living on Kosciuszko Street.
