Hester Street Collaborative's photostream

Hester Street Collaborative (HSC) is a design/build community-based non-profit organization created to improve the physical environment in underserved NYC neighborhoods. HSC works with residents and students in affordable housing developments, public spaces, and schools on participatory architectural projects. It is our belief that a design-build process can improve the quality of life in underserved communities in two ways:

* By creating compelling places, which serve the local residents.
* By building social capital through the process of articulating and realizing a shared vision.
