About Me

AFHny STUDIO promotes architectural and environmental design-driven social change in New York and abroad by empowering design activists with the tools of collaboration and open forum. Founded and lead by the volunteers of Architecture For Humanity New York, the STUDIO developed from the belief that lives can be improved through thoughtfully designed spaces, and adheres to the organization’s mission of providing design services to communities in need.

Contact studio@afhny.org for volunteering purposes.The studio is coordinated by Valeria Bianco and Shagun Singh

 

ARTfarm is all planted!

At last we completed our installation. Saturday was a beautiful sunny day and ARTfarm had some extra excitement provided by the tail end of hurricane Earl. As we moved along adding soil and placing our plants & bushes, we were excited to see the project come alive! Thanks once again to our amazing volunteers that embraced the strong winds, battled loose soil and even some ‘flying bushes’.

Many thanks go out to: The Bronx Museum staff, the DOT Urban Art Program staff, NYC Parks & Recreation and the NYC Fire Department.

If you could not make it on Saturday, you have more chances: this weekend AFHny STUDIO will be there for some touch-up work as well as the start of garden maintenance with the local residents.

Please contact studio@afhny.org for next days at ARTfarm, and more information on other ways to help.
