The Merritt Parkway: Photographs by Michael Zenreich
Acrylic Display Tables and Portrait Station.
Exhibition design by Urban A&O with Thinc Design
Realizing the difficulty of viewing the bridges on the Merritt Parkway while in motion, Michael Zenreich, AIA, recorded them photographically. He received a National Endowment of the Humanities “Youth Grant” to fulfill this goal and spent the summer of 1980 capturing them with an 8×10 view camera. In response to the World Monuments Fund (WMF) recently naming the Parkway as one of the most endangered monuments, the photographs are on view at FXFOWLE Architects’ office.
