   I walked a radioactive Brooklyn beach 🧭

   Beneath the sands of Brooklyn, Dead Horse Bay is a massive time capsule of New York City’s industrial past. This documentary examines how a pristine marshland became a municipal dumping ground—revealing rotting remains of 19th-century horses, millions of discarded household artifacts, the "Barren Island War," the forced removal of immigrant communities by Robert Moses, and the discovery of radioactive military waste that led to the beach being sealed off by the federal government. #history #newyorkcity #documentary Learn more about your ad choices.

   I visited a failed housing dream — here's why

   In 1961, a 23-year-old McGill student proposed Habitat 67: a vertical village of interlocking concrete boxes. Commissioned by the Canadian government for the 1967 World’s Fair, the project evolved from a student thesis into a construction experiment and heavy engineering laboratory. This episode explores its history—how a design meant to democratize working-class housing became a structural challenge and an accidental enclave for the wealthy. #architecture #history #urbanplanning Learn more about your ad choices.
