Site Visit: Newlab

February 15, 2024

We are pleased to invite Brick & Wonder Pro & Council members to a private tour of New Lab – a remarkable adaptive reuse project located in The Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Newlab is a multi-disciplinary, high-tech design and prototyping center that opened in 2016 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

DBI Projects led the development and project management of Newlab from conceptual planning and financing through entitlements, construction and completion.

DBI engineered the Public-Private Partnership between the developer, Macro Sea, the property owner, Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp, and the State of New York through the Empire State Development Corporation and the City of New York through the Brooklyn Borough President, the City Council and the Economic Development Corporation (EDC).

Newlab was founded to address significant societal needs by scaling and commercializing emerging technologies and companies.

Today, Newlab includes more than 900 entrepreneurs, partnerships with forward-thinking corporate and civic entities, and the support of domain experts—all working together to scale frontier technologies.

Stephen Burks at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

December 01, 2023

We are pleased to invite Brick & Wonder Pro & Council members to a private tour of Shelter in Place, a new exhibition featuring the work of Stephen Burks at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Winner of the 2023 Collab Design Excellence Award, Chicago native Stephen Burks is an industrial designer whose innovative approach to design synthesizes craft, community, and industry. Stephen Burks: Shelter in Place, which originated at the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), surveys the last ten years of Burks’ craft-centered, workshop-based design practice at midcareer.

In addition to global craft projects, furniture, lighting fixtures, and other industrial products, the exhibition features a new speculative project—Shelter in Place—which explores new ideas regarding our relationship with our homes, especially in the wake of a global pandemic, and invites active participation from visitors.
