This week's picks for NYC architecture and design events

The Urban Foodscape | September 28

Dr. Rositsa Ilieva will give a talk based on her 2016 book, “Urban Food Planning: Seeds of Transition in the Global North”, which delves into how architects, designers, and city planners are using their skills to help communities restore the social-ecological aspect of food and to “dismantle the notion of food as a mere commodity”.

Symposium: "Living in America: Frank Lloyd Wright, Harlem & Modern Housing" | September 28-29

Based on the exhibition of the same name, this two-day symposium brings together housing scholars for a conversation to “provoke new questions about how we live in America, together, today”. 

“Point 0” Screens at The Cooper Union | September 28

Catch a viewing of “POINT 0”, an oral history film by architect Christina Condak and Vienna-based experimental theater team Toxic Dreams. In the film, architects “reflect on their initiations into the culture of architecture education in a kind of ritual performance...Asked to recall vivid memories and relevant experiences from their education, they perform a few physical actions and tell their stories.”
