This week's picks include a book talk that examines how the built environment shapes the human experience, and an evening with Rethink Studio about turning visions of a “Post-Robert Moses New York” into reality. Last but not least, Steven Holl and Chris McVoy will take part in a discussion about the new Queens Library at Hunters Point later this week.
