Coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of Friendship Park, the Athenaeum is pleased to present BUILD THAT PARK! – the culmination of a four-phase design competition unveiling various responses to the challenge of creating a truly binational park, accessible to and shared by the people of both nations. Join us for this walk-through of the exhibit with its creator, architect James Brown, fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA), of Public Architecture and Planning.
BUILD THAT PARK! is a project of The Friends of Friendship Park, a non-partisan, grassroots coalition of individuals and organizations advocating for increased public access to the historic meeting place on the U.S./Mexico border since 2005. Join us for a walk-through of the exhibition with its creator, James Brown, FAIA.
