With a robust programme of talks, workshops, musical performances and many other events, Fort Greene-based Head Hi is much more than the city’s go-to architecture and design bookshop or a popular espresso bar right next to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The platform is perhaps best known for its annual Lamp Show: an open-call for designs turned group shows that highlight original concepts by a diverse range of talents from around the world. Co-founders Alexandra Hodkowski and Alvaro Alcocer sort through hundreds, even thousands, of submission to form a selection of works that exemplify a wide range of background, skill-level, conceptual ideation, and material exploration.
