Join Museum of the City of New York curators Donald Albrecht and Thomas Mellins; architect Neil Denari; architectural historian Kenneth Frampton, Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University; Sherida Paulsen, architect and former chair of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission; and Rick Bell, architect and executive director of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, for a discussion of the broader implications of Denari’s HL23 residential tower, now under construction at 23rd Street and the High Line. The program will explore HL23’s role in New York City’s revival as a center of avant-garde architecture and how today’s global culture and economy have shaped the building’s design and construction. Presented in conjunction with New York Fast Forward: Neil Denari Builds on the High Line.
