Sometimes (just sometimes) we like to get out of studio.
Last month, we had the pleasure of touring Governors Island National Monument and Roosevelt Island with AAP NYC executive director Bob Balder, the latter of which is home of the future Cornell tech campus. At Governors, students took the ferry to tour the currently-in-restoration ferry terminal, Fort Jay (a preserved remnant from the Revolutionary War), and biked around the coastline on the last weekend of operation.
At Roosevelt, we took the Islander tramway (Spiderman, anyone?) across the Queensboro Bridge. Much of the island is a construction site for the new Cornell Tech campus, home to old World War I era hospitals and the beautiful new FDR Four Freedoms Park, an original design by the late Louis Khan.
