Pierce Erez-Henderson
is an educator, urbanist, and artist. The goal of his practice is two-part: first, to understand and explain learning and knowing; and second, to examine and contribute to infrastructures—at different social, spatial, and organizational scales—that beget learning and knowing. His work thus spans a wide range of physical, digital, sonic, textual, and computational projects that engage audiences across communities and disciplines. Pierce holds master’s degrees from the London School of Economics and the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He resides in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Neighborbuoy (2023)
Proposal to Community Board 8 for developing a social exchange and community- building platform in the middle of 3rd Avenue, between 86th and 87th Street.
A tactical and temporary series of structures that serve a dual purpose: primarily, these structures are designed as dynamic platforms to facilitate inclusive dialogue between neighborhood stakeholders. Then when not actively used for events, these structures transform into ‘public third spaces’ - accessible, welcoming, and open to all community members.
