Adopt, Foster, Share is a community collaboration between partners People’s Pavilion, Bungee Space, and Chinatown Basketball Club to support temporary installation projects at Columbus Park, Chinatown. This project will develop a modular furniture system for public events, including festivals and sports tournaments, in Fall 2026. After de-installation, units will circulate via a foster program for use at home and on the street until the following year’s park events. Adopt, Foster, Share aims to sustain a culture of temporary installation design at Columbus Park while connecting neighbors through the shared stewardship of street furniture. 

Fostering Chinatown Furniture received a $10,000 grant from the New York State Council on the Arts and The Architectural League of New York through the 2025 Independent Projects program.
