David Briggs, founding partner of Loci Architecture, discusses the Gowanus Canal and the challenges and opportunities of urban design.

The Gowanus Canal, located in Brooklyn, was heavily polluted due to industrial activities in the past. Briggs and his team at Loci Architecture have been working on designing urban solutions and engaging with the community to revitalize the area. They have organized design competitions, created the Gowanus Atlas, and proposed projects for the industrial business zone. Briggs emphasizes the importance of understanding the community and their needs, as well as the need for creative and visionary urban planning.
