Discover Gordon Square Arts District - June 9th - TOIstudio installation too!

Discover Gordon Square Arts District
Saturday, June 9th, 2012
10am - 9pm
On Detroit Ave., between W. 54th and W78th



There is a whole medley of events you can read more about here: Discover Gordon Square website

Also, TOIstudio has constructed an urban impermeable surface retention/detention system we like to call "Greening Gordan Square" which you can also check out in the parking lot West of W61st on Detroit (right across the street from Cleveland Public Theater).  I will be posting more information but essentially we have built a system to study techniques to control, slow and treat water runoff from impermeable surfaces (see parking lots).  The webpage will be constantly updated with more information.  Also the configuration and plantings may change somewhat throughout the period of study (until late Fall) so stay tuned if you are interested in things like water runoff and urban infrastructure.

This is the second year TOIstudio has built something for Gordon Square.  We may have to look into relocating to the neighborhood.
