The IIDA New York chapter's all-woman designer panel will discuss cultural diversity and the issues that designers of color continue to face. Panelists will also talk about overlooked female designers of the past and the influential roles of race, culture, and gender in the industry today.

The Jan Palach Memorial is a powerful monument designed by the famed architect John Hejduk in remembrance of the Czech activist who self-immolated in protest of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, helping to spark national resistance against its communist government. Comprising two structures, the monument will be recreated and placed in front of the Cooper Union. The installation coincides with an exhibition of photographs of Hedjuk's work by the incomparable Hélène Binet.

Current Work: Kengo Kuma | March 31, recommended by Justine Testado

Spend Friday night at the Cooper Union with Kengo Kuma, who will present the projects he and his practice are currently working on (like the 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium) and have a discussion with moderator Kenneth Frampton. If you've been meaning to see the architect in person, this is your chance!

Buell Dissertation Colloquium | March 31-April 1, recommended by Alexander Walter

Theory aficionados, here's one not to be missed: the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture's biennial Dissertation Colloquium (now in its 35th year) presents new work by select doctoral students from a variety of U.S.-based, and one Norwegian, institutions of higher learning.
