“Bottleneck” was created in Professor Louise Harpman’s Spring 2019 Arts Workshop, “Architecture and Urban Design LAB.”

The participating students were Alisha Aggarwal, Michael Brittenham, Louisa Chang, Lily Cohen, Emily Gordin, Parker Hollingsworth, Sophia Isidore, Wooseup Jeon, Eduardo Logemann de Almeida, Kylie McManus, Shaun Montero, Nunnapat “Spencer” Ratanavanh, Arvind Sindhwani, Clay Sisson, and Teresa Wang.

The pavilion was originally displayed in the Jerry and Wendy Labowitz Lounge, as part of the NYCxDesign Festival, in May 2019.
