Get involved
Since completing our Pilot Project, we are looking for support for future iterations of Testbeds. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation through our fiscal sponsor, the Architectural League of New York, click the button to the right.
We are also looking for in-kind material donations for this and future constructions, either repurposed, leftover, extra, or new.
We are also always looking for like-minded partners and collaborators who might want to assist in scavenging, researching, and building out this and future projects.
Our Team
This project is a collaboration between New Affiliates and Samuel Stewart-Halevy along with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation’s GreenThumb.
New Affiliates is a New York-based design practice. Recent recipients of the Architectural League Prize for Architects and AIA’s New York New Practices award, the studio works across scales to produce buildings, installations, exhibitions, and sometimes products.
Samuel Stewart-Halevy is a doctoral candidate in the History and Theory of Architecture at Columbia University.
GreenThumb provides programming and material support to over 550 community gardens in New York City. Workshops, which are the access point for supplies, are held every month of the year, covering gardening basics to more advanced farming and community organizing topics.
