With its sidewalk-facing exhibition space located not too far from Occupy Wall Street, New York’s Storefront for Art and Architecture has announced a competition to design new ways of taking over public space during street demonstrations. The brief lists first prize as nothing less than “the possibility of a new world order,” but submissions will also be exhibited in a pop up installation at Storefront.Read the brief after the jump.
The second New York City edition of the Architecture & Design Film Festival is happening this week at Tribeca Cinemas. The lineup includes both feature and short films that range from the Zaha Hadid portrait “Lioness Among Lions” to a piece on biophilic design and what promises to be a more nuanced look at the City of Detroit than we’re used to seeing in photos of its urban ruins.
David Childs, Massimo Colomban, Zaha Hadid, Greg Lynn, Laurie Olin, Wolf. D. Prix, David Rockwell, Moshe Safdie, Matthias Schuler, Patrik Schumacher, Ben van Berkel, and Richard Saul Wurman to be part of initiative.
From dusk last night until dawn this morning, the Tribute in Light installation pierced the night sky of New York City to honor the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
