Hudson Square Goes 3D

By Patrick Kowalczyk, 19 June 2015 — Design, Tech

This two-day event in Lower Manhattan’s Hudson Square neighborhood showcased its evolution from New York City’s historic printing district to a fast-growing hub for tech and design. Highlights included comedian Todd Barry headlining a panel on the podcasting boom, a free workshop where you could learn to compose music with modular synthesizers, an evening of rapid-fire talks with top designers, and live 3D printing of objects like benches and bird houses in lobbies across the neighborhood.

PKPR secured coverage from The New York Times, New York Daily News, Metro New York, 6sqft, DNAinfo, Downtown Magazine, New York Business Journal, am New York, and a special feature by Untapped Cities highlighting the history of Hudson Square’s historic buildings.
