WRITER BLOCK BLOCK PARTY

WRITER BLOCK BLOCK PARTY is a critical reading and writing course (read: obstacle course) for first-year students across the disciplines at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. The goals of the course are to activate the city as a laboratory for reading, writing and analyzing the ways that food, fashion and consumer lifestyles are produced, marketed, and manifested in the built environment. Overall, the class remained mindful of our fortune: “Every city is a volume if you know how to read and write it.” Enjoy our book and maybe you will want to try out some of our homework assignments too!
