The Rivington School

The Rivington School was an influential experimental art and architecture collective active in New York City from 1980 to 1990. It emerged as a response to urban decay, focusing on innovative, eco-friendly, and community-driven design projects using affordable and recycled materials. Their work blurred boundaries between art, architecture, and activism, often challenging conventional notions of urban development. While not formally a school, it functioned as a collaborative platform where artists and architects explored alternative approaches to city living and environmental sustainability, leaving a lasting impact on the fields of alternative architecture and community-based art.
