Tomorrow, 1/26: Gregg Pasquarelli, SHoP Architects
Urban Omnibus
"Tomorrow" is now today.
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 26, the League is hosting a Current Work lecture featuring Gregg Pasquarelli, founding partner of the New York firm SHoP Architects. SHoP’s work is highly recognizable in New York City — current projects include the Barclays Center Arena at Atlantic Yards, a two-mile esplanade and park for along the East River Waterfront, projects at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Porter House in the Meatpacking District, 290 Mulberry Street and designs for the development of South Street Seaport.
From the lecture description:
As both practitioners and educators, SHoP’s commitment to challenging the process of building seeks to prove that “beauty and technological proficiency are not mutually exclusive.” They state: “We look at an entire project and consider the site, the cultural and economic environment, a client’s physical needs and budget constraints, as well as construction techniques, branding, marketing, and post-occupancy issues…Great architecture demands that design, finance, and technology work together – we’re combining these forces in innovative ways to create a new model for the profession.”
...Tickets are still available for the lecture and can be purchased on the League’s website. As always, tickets are free for Architectural League members and are $15 for non-members. Full details and information about reserving tickets can be found here.
