TIMBER IN THE CITY: What's Holding Timber Back? A Round Table Discussion | November 17, recommended by Alexander Walter

With so many wooden skyscrapers on the boards and under construction around the world right now, the future of timber architecture in urban contexts has never looked brighter — but doubts and misinformation among the public remain. The round table discussion What’s Holding Timber Back? hosted by Parsons School of Constructed Environments aims to "advance the goal of complete acceptance of mass timber buildings in North America." Catch the live stream online if you can't make it to the symposium.

New York at its Core | Opening on November 18, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg

Explore New York's history from a Dutch settlement to present-day megalopolis, with a special focus on the big characters that charted its course—both human and animal. The exhibition also takes a look at the big challenges facing New York's (and the world's) future: housing, climate change and social equity.

Urban Omnibus and the UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art will host a screening of two short films, “New York Portrait, Chapter II” and “Time and Tide”, in celebration of the late Peter Hutton. A merchant seaman-turned-filmmaker, Hutton was widely regarded for the way his films poetically captured NYC's built and natural environments. Urban planner and Hutton neighbor Daniel D’Oca will introduce the films. General admission is $9.

Also keep track of our weekly event picks for Los Angeles and London.
