This month's dates and events includes a retrospective of an award-winning Swedish firm in Stockholm and an outdoor housing exhibition in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The project will bethe first public building in New York City designed by Rotterdam-based Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu, director of the firm’s New York office.
“Untapped Capital” was the theme of this year’s Ideas City festival, the second iteration of a biennial series of urban-focused events organized by the New Museum in Manhattan.
Now that the New Museum on Manhattan’s Lower East Side is complete, and its structure enclosed, there is little evidence of the system that supports the seven-story building that seems to be made up of nothing heavier than precariously stacked cardboard boxes.
