Museum

My favorite piece in the exhibit was the one pertaining to Via Verde in the South Bronx. It struck my attention because of how striking and intriguing the design of the buildings are, and I think that it gives the location a very artsy touch. Along with this, the buildings feature rooftop gardens which not only provide beauty and nature to a landscape that is lacking, but also provide tenants with access to healthy foods that may otherwise be too expensive or out of their reach completely for travel reasons. The Via Verde puts a modern spin on the old vision of public housing, and does so with a unique edge. I think that the improvements push people toward a positive and healthy life style.

    Yes, the gardens have multiple uses and probably make residents feel good too. As long as they are well maintained!
