Aleksandra Kasuba’s ROOF DECK AT THE MANHATTAN COMMUNITY REHABILITATION CENTER in NYC 1974 (Project not realized). The fenced-in roof deck, 120x60 feet across with a gymnasium netting laid over cables 16 feet high, was to provide an outdoors facility for the residents. It contained play and shadow areas, a projection screen, enclosed seating, and tucked away private areas, including 4 shower baskets.
