As always, New York City is abuzz with creative folks expanding the possibilities of how architectural design and practice can be reinterpreted, bringing attention to what in the urban environment is constantly overlooked. Planning for another week in the Big Apple? Bustler has compiled a snappy list of events around town that are worth checking out. Check back regularly to stay up to date.
This week's recommendations start off with a conversation about Jane Jacobs' evolving legacy between Curbed architecture critic Alexandra Lange and Samuel Zipp and Nathan Storring. Esteemed artist Anish Kapoor and Atelier Bow-Wow co-founders Momoyo Kaijima and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto will also participate in their own discussions later this week. And if you haven't seen it yet, the Museum of the City of New York recently began exhibiting a collection of World War I-era posters and prints created by New Yorker artists and illustrators who were enlisted in the war effort.
