Here's more about the show by Karolina Czeczek and Anna Morgowicz that opened on Thursday night: 
The Public Pools research explores the history, architectural form, and social and cultural significance of swimming pools in New York City. By studying the history, design and policies around public pools, the project seeks to spark a broader conversation about public space and urban water infrastructure.
Citygroup is an architecture collective located at 104 Forsythe St. between Broome and Grand.
