This book is a collection of work organized by fourth year architecture students at the New York Institute of Technology. The class is led by professor Demir Purisic and the semester’s objective was to analyze the open streets objective on 34th avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens. Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in Queens, New York that is described as a place that is historic, celebrates diversity, is heterogeneous and has a dense urban feel. Students were tasked in analyzing all aspects of Jackson Heights and compiling all their research together. The class researched History and demographics, built environment, streetscape, the open streets proposal, and even contacting stakeholders within the community.
