Use of Space


We went to a Pratt party on Friday (a party hosted by another Pratt MFA student) and on the way we stopped by one of the ubiquitous corner bodegas to get some drinks and snacks. I think this is the best example I've seen of a shop not letting the ATM take up too much precious space (it was really wedged in there, behind Cup O' Noodle, to the left of tuna and Spam...)

The party was fun, and was another interesting example of how people make do in this city where space it at an ultimate premium. The party host (Will) rents a room in a building that is mostly a woodworking shop -- the "livingroom" (where we hung out most of the time) had a massive table saw, air filtering system, stacks of lumber, and, for the purposes of the party, some folding chairs. Three people rent bedrooms down the back hallway. Handy, if you want excellent access to wood!
