Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Bedford Avenue and N. 7th Street


The Bedford Avenue stop along the L-line and the surrounding neighborhood can be thought of as a bridge or hinge that acts as connective tissue between Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is a culturally rich, has many sets of actors, and has a diverse architectural fabric. Because of this richness, is serves as an ideal location for advertisements and events that are mostly specific to the area.

The goal for this study is to:

1.Understand the surrounding neighborhood through legal and illegally posted advertisements (who is paying/ posting the ads, are they local business, corporations...)
2.Attempt to track the flow of capital through posted advertisements
3.Attempt to reproduce the diverse “ecology” of the site through graphics and mapping
