AFHny aspires to be the platform from which the next generation of designers can give voice to ingenuity and socially-responsible change within the five boroughs of New York.
AFHny's current projects include: studies for a boat house for an ecologically focused canoe group on the Gowanus Canal; design for community center, homeless shelter, and medical clinic in a church basement in Morningside Heights; aiding victims of Hurricane Katrina through work in Biloxi, Mississippi; catalyst projects for High Bridge Park in the Bronx in collaboration with the Parks Department; and re-envisioning the physical structure of a community arts organization in the South Bronx from interior storage solutions to green roof interventions.
Architecture for Humanity New York has been collaborating with a community arts organization, The Point, CDC, to re-envision the use of their facility.
The Point is a Community Development Corporation dedicated to encouraging the arts, local enterprise, responsible ecology, and self-investment in the Hunts Point Community in the South Bronx through an after-school program serving neighborhood children with homework help, visual arts, literacy, circus arts, photography, music, and drama.
