How to incorporate recycling and reuse into architecture, contemporary design and urban planning? What does a new architecture, which shortcuts material and transportation flows, look like? The laboratory-talks will be held in German/English. event (ended) current design events more info www.aed... (106) design directory Aedes > Architecture Centers added by Levent OZLER |

 Transforming the Skyline: Three Leading Women ArchitectsDeborah Berke, Audrey Matlock, and Annabelle Selldorf will discuss what they have brought to one building form-the private apartment house-in a panel discussion moderated by Suzanne Stephens of Architectural Record and sponsored by the Sir John Soane's Museum Foundation as part of it's ongoing Richard H. Driehaus Series.For decades the building of condominiums in New York has been considered the territory of commercial architects who designed banal buildings with little sensitivity to the urban milieu. The three architects participating in "Transforming the Skyline" are innovators who will describe their specific contributions to this building type, as well as the challenges of designing architecture of quality in New York City. Deborah Berke is a well-known New York-based architect and teacher who has recently succeeded in creating a high profile condominium via a low-keyed design strategy: 48 Bond's sleek black granite and zinc façade comes to downtown properly dressed, in black. Audrey Matlock is in the course of completing the Chelsea Modern condominium on West 18th Street, whose zig-zag cascade of blue glass makes for an eye-catching addition to the streetscape. Annabelle Selldorf, one of New York City's most sought after architects, is now opening her latest project, 520 West Chelsea, an 11-story residence on West 19th Street distinguished by dark bands of midnight-blue glazed terracotta. event (ended) current design events more info www.soa...
