FAB is pleased to share our FABnyc 20/20 Vision Plan.
In 2020, FABnyc was invited to join the Neighborhoods Now program launched by the Urban Design Forum and Van Alen Institute.
Neighborhoods Now was created to connect neighborhoods hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic with design firms. Expanded in 2021, the program convened working groups to address how underutilized outdoor spaces could be sites for community programming and cultural revitalization.
FAB began working with DLR Group in May 2020. Marvel, Buro Happold, and SHoP Architects joined the vision plan team in February 2021. Pentagram
provided graphic design.
The purpose was to share a vision of how neighborhood open spaces could support expanded cultural and community use – a vision rooted in values of equity and access.
The team has worked with FAB to conduct a series of visioning sessions, site visits throughout the neighborhood, and charrette sessions to establish existing conditions and design goals.
