Innovators: Building Design and Construction

Time: 6:30 pm Who are the Guastavinos of today? Everything you thought you knew about architecture and engineering is changing. From 3-D printing, to prefabrication, to modular design, today’s design visionaries are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and changing the fabric of our built environment. Join Jill Lerner, Principal at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) and 2013 President of the AIA New York Chapter, for a discussion with architects Corie Sharples (SHoP Architecture) and Marianne Kwok (KPF), and engineers Valentine A. Lehr (Lehr Consultants International) and Guy Nordenson (Guy Nordenson Associates) about design innovation in the 21st century. Presented in conjunction with Palaces for the People and co-sponsored by the AIA New York Chapter. Free for Museum members; $12 students/seniors; $16 general public. 1.5 LU AIA CES will be offered for attending this event. Museum members click here to register.
