Peace & Quiet, a temporary dialogue station installed in Times Square, New York City provided a tranquil place where veterans and civilians – two wide- ranging groups whose paths increasingly do not cross – could openly engage each other in meaningful conversation. Conceived, designed, and built by the Brooklyn-based firm, Matter Architecture Practice, this project review traces the development and collaborative process by which the station was realised and inhabited.
