A
frenzy of sketching, discussing, cutting, building, and pizza eating (involving
students and mentors alike) ensued. Five hours later, well-conceived projects
dedicated to the war on terrorism, peace, summertime, youth, famous New
Yorkers, the 4th of July, and reflection, emerged from the chaos. And
who knows how many future urban planners and architects may emerge from
such an adventure? For more information about Salvadori Center and its

Architalkers typically spend one morning or afternoon per week at the Center, usually 10am-2pm, 2-6pm, or 6-8pm on a weekday of their choice; or from 11am-3pm or 1-5pm on a Saturday (at present we especially need more Saturday participants). We can be more flexible if this schedule is not workable for you.
