A Walk Through Harlem, New York’s Most Storied Neighborhood

"It’s a refuge and magnet, storied crucible and cradle, a cultural capital, shaped by waves of migration, a recent tsunami of gentrification and the ongoing struggles for racial justice. Harlem is the American saga packed into one neighborhood, its architecture a palimpsest of African-American and Latino experience in the city and of much else that has defined New York over the centuries. Lead designer for the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, the Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye began to explore the area while working on a mixed-used housing development at 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue called Sugar Hill, which opened in 2015. That same year he won the commission to do a new home for the Studio Museum in Harlem and moved to Harlem with his family. ,,,"
