Brooklyn Has A Park And, OMG, It's Going To Have A Better Park

A long time ago we wrote a little story about a big landscape architect named Michael Van Valkenburgh. This Friday, he’s giving a talk about the new masterplan for the eighty-five acre Brooklyn Bridge Park. While this probably sounds as exciting as something you totally wouldn’t want to do on a Friday, we have the rare privilege of being able to vouch for his being, at the very least, articulately interesting. No skin off your nose.
