A-Z East

The A-Z Enterprise first took root in 1991 in a tiny 200 square foot storefront on South 8th Street in Brooklyn New York. In January of 1994 the project migrated to a small three-story row house with a storefront at 150 Wythe Avenue. Prototypes for living rotated in and out of the space as various experiments evolved, the storefront serving as both a showroom and a test site. In 1996 and 1997 the A-Z Personal Presentation Room opened to the public for Thursday Evening Personal Presentations – events in which the local community artists and neighbors were allowed to explore the building and witness new prototypes in use.
