Conversations in Architecture: DaMario Walker-Brown and Chris Hardy

Join this discussion of the New Lots Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, where MASS Design Group and Marble Fairbanks Architects reimagine the library as a civic palaver—a space for dialogue and collective memory—built atop a historic African burial ground.
