About Me

David Del Rosario
Brooklyn, NY
David Del Rosario is an architectural lighting designer living in Brooklyn, New York. This blog is a result of his thesis work completed in 2010. The choice of Franklin Avenue, in the neighborhood of North Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York, exemplifies a gentrifying commercial street halted by the economic downturn. The application of light on blight re-examines temporal permanence and questions its future, unknown manifestation. Light embodies the potential to inform and revitalize, while activating a space for present usage.
