The Great Hall
7 E. 7 Street

Two Bridges Neighborhood Council in collaboration with the Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design & the Architectural League of New York will convene a public discussion to explore issues and ideas for the future of coastal New York. In the Two Bridges neighborhood, and across the five boroughs, vulnerable, low-income populations housed along a high-risk waterfront makes for a challenging social, planning & design problem.
Panelists with expertise in urban ecology, design, and community planning will present examples of current work and thinking about these issues, followed by a provocative and necessary discussion:Tom Angotti, Susannah C. Drake, Alexander J. Felson, and Claire Weisz, with moderator Cassim Shepard.

LESSONS FROM MODERNISM:
Environmental Design Considerations in 20th Century Architecture,
1925 - 1970
|
Opening Reception
JAN 29, 2013
6:30-8:30pm
|
Lessons From Modernism examines selected works of architecture completed between 1925-1970 through the lens of sustainability. Through an analysis of the influence of nature and the environment in architectural design, Lessons From Modernism provides new insights into works achieved by a diverse selection of architects, including Le Corbusier, Paul Rudolph, Jean Prouvé and Oscar Niemeyer. The exhibition demonstrates how these architects integrated environmental concerns into their designs and explores the extent to which these practices have produced environmentally performative and distinctive architecture.
