Pandemic Architecture: NYC Dining Sheds from 2020-2024, a photo essay by New Yorker Penny Hardy, captures a singular moment in time when restaurants were forced onto the streets of New York City to survive. Interiors once hidden from view were turned inside out.�Freed from conventional building regulations, a wildly varied landscape of outdoor dining structures emerged. Owners' personalities, tastes, fantasies, and construction skills were suddenly on display in a return to old-school punk, DIY values. It was a democracy of building the city had not seen in modern memory.�With commentary by Michael Bullock, Fred Bernstein and Robert Hammond.
