The Glass House and New Canaan Library present a lecture by curator Evangelos Kotsioris on Architecture Now: New York, New Publics, an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art that showcases 12 projects for public-facing spaces across New York City’s five boroughs. In contrast to the violent nature of urban renewal and other disruptive metropolitan initiatives of the past century, recent design approaches in this exhibition propose subtler, nimbler interventions. Considering the city as an ecosystem, these inventive approaches envision a future in which architecture creates more accessible, sustainable, and equitable cities. The exhibition is on view through July 29, 2023.
Glass House Presents is an ongoing series of talks, performances, and other live events that extend the site’s historic role as a gathering place for artists, architects, and other creative minds. This event is co-hosted by New Canaan Library and supported in part by New Canaan Community Foundation.
