Ikea, Second Floor
March 13, 2007 -
The following photos - from March 2007 - are part of a long-term project documenting the rapid transformation of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Once a lively industrial waterfront neighborhood, Red Hook has been swept up by the development boom which is parceling off Brooklyn's waterfront. The last vestiges of Red Hook's industrial heritage are currently being torn down, including the Todd Shipyard on Beard Street, site of a new Ikea store. For more photographs from this series, view the
Revere Sugar Refinery, the
Todd Shipyard and the
Red Hook Grain Terminal, and read my award winning
essay from 2006 about Beard Street.

So now I gotta check another site to see your latest? This first set looks pretty fantastic. I had no idea that IKEA had progressed so far since I was last down there. Looks pretty eerie like that.

This site is for all the good stuff that I want to write a little something about. It will all end up on flickr at some point!
