Each year PS1 in Brooklyn opens up their courtyard to a design competition. This year’s winners have designed a layout that will turn the courtyard into a summer garden. New York Magazine details their inspiration for the summer occasion, where the designers site influences like urban immigrant gardening and the trend toward local food sourcing. We’ll be excited to see it in the flesh this Summer, when PS1 invites some great musicians and DJs to play in the courtyard at PS1 Warmup.
