A Conceptual design study of the Washington Street
and Parlor City Commons public open spaces, within the core of BinghamtonÕs
Court Street Historic District. Project seen as a means to beautify downtown
Binghamton by capitalizing on its historic character, enhancing the pedestrian
environment, and incorporating public art to promote the return of business and
social activity.

for cafˇs and public markets.
