The Effect of Household Income on Street Tree Diversity: A Close Look at Four Brooklyn Neighborhoods

we would like to find out whether tree diversity is similar across a subset of four neighborhoods in Brooklyn which differ significantly with regard to the median household income of the residents therein. This is important because trees provide crucial ecosystem services such as filtering air particles and keeping streets cool (Willis and Petrokofsky, 2017). We are interested in exploring the relationship between median household income and tree diversity because tree diversity is important to neighborhood health and quality of life.

Spaces of Cultural Affinity

We combined the best elements of our mini magazine projects that reflected our journey throughout Seminar 1 into a collective poster exploring our cultural spaces of affinity, the Uptown Triennial, and key places of artistic fervor.

Fighting Climate Change: A Guide for Brooklyn College and CUNY

Brooklyn College has been recognized as one of the many diverse campuses along with titles such as “Best Value College” from Princeton Review. With our vast assortment of students, student body, faculty, etc., we must consider our contribution and initiatives toward reducing carbon emissions.
Our focus for Campus As A Lab is to present concrete action plans that are sufficient and effective and will benefit both the campus and the interconnected student life.

Vytynanky & Dombra Festival

After extensive research on the cultural art styles we decided to combine Vytynanky and the Dombra by creating an event where people would indulge in making a papercut design to apply on to the Dombra. The event will finish off with everyone playing beginner songs with the Dombras they designed with Vytynanky.

The Stories of US!!

For our STEAM presentation, we decided to display our identity webs. Our identity can tell our story, it informs who we are. Parts of our identity are inherent within us, no matter how much we’d try to distance ourselves, and other aspects we choose to take on.

The Blades of Love

I pray today to shield the blades of love
that scatter end to end to take my life.
To move away the sirens and the dove.
And keep away all people from its knife.
There’s still a time for joy under the sun.
The blade can’t stand the wounds of joy and fun.

Rishall Studio

Our project features a poster that advertises a hypothetical event that we came up with. The event is a mashup of two cultures, Jamaica and Uzbekistan.
