In our rant about 1067 Fulton yesterday, we mentioned how we had hoped the building would have been able to raise the bar a bit for new developments further east. In this post, we’ll look at little further east–into the center of Bedford Stuyvesant–to show how quickly and on what a scale the neighborhood’s architectural future is being squandered. In particular, we’ll look at the area surrounding Tompkins Park, which we would think would hold great potential (despite the existence of communist-era-looking projects).
