Graphics from "Parliament" by XML.
The Storefront for Art and Architecture will be hosting their latest Reading Images event “Democracy”, which examines the parliaments of 193 United Nations member states. Marking the launch of XML's book “Parliament”, this discussion asks: “How do the spaces, settings, and structures designed for political assembly impact decision-making practices? How do they characterize the nuances in our political systems?”. Participants include Max Cohen de Lara, James Graham, Michael Manfredi, David Mulder van der Vegt, Mark Rakatansky, and Malkit Shoshan.

A Long-Awaited Tribute: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian House and Pavilion | Open now until February 2, 2017, recommended by Alexander Walter
Did you know that the site of today's iconic Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum once housed two FLW-designed structures for the 1953-exhibition Sixty Years of Living Architecture: The Work of Frank Lloyd Wright? If your answer is either yes or no, you should visit the museum's ongoing presentation of selected materials from the archives about these two (now demolished) buildings that predate the landmark at the corner of 5th Avenue and 88th Street we've come to know simply as The Guggenheim.
Also keep track of our weekly event picks for Los Angeles and London.
