A variety of cultural and pop-culture events, landmark buildings, and important figures will be mentioned, connecting NYSID's history to the cultural and urban experience of New York City in the early 20th century. Interior Motives: Designing a Design School - part of a week-long celebration of the inauguration of the college's sixth president, Dr. Christopher John Cyphers - will give the NYSID community a chance to reflect on its past while it embarks on a future under new leadership. This lecture is being presented in honor of NYSID's founder Sherrill Whiton, who was instrumental in creating the field of interior design as it is known today and is best known for his comprehensive and authoritative book, Interior Design and Decoration, now in its sixth edition. event (ended) current design events more Interior Motives: Designing a Design School design directory New York School of Interior Design > Interior Design Education added by Levent OZLER |

 Public Art New YorkThe images in Public Art New York exhibition, part of the Helfand Spotlight Series, taken by photographer Francis Dzikowski for the book Public Art New York and represent the wide variety of works of public art in the five boroughs of New York City.Illustrating that public art consists not only of monumental sculpture in outdoor plazas but also decorative sidewalks, sculpted facades, and evocative lighting, Public Art New York broadens the dialogue on how art can complement and enrich architecture and public space. From the Coney Island's Parachute Jump, to Dubuffet's Groupe des Quatre Arbres in Chase Manhattan Plaza, to James Carpenter's "Ice Falls" in the lobby of the Hearst Building, these photos reveal the magnificent range and richness of the works that enliven New York's urban landscape and are accessible for all to enjoy. As Kent L. Barwick noted in his introduction to the book, "these striking photographs of both the new and what we thought familiar remind us of the ever-changing and compelling landscape we are so lucky to inhabit and so rarely take the time to see." The Helfand Spotlight Series highlights competitions, projects under construction, and projects recently completed that will have a far-reaching impact on New York City's built environment. Projects are exhibited as a means of generating public interest as well as presenting in-depth information to the Center's professional audience. more www.aia... (137) added by Levent OZLER |
