Works 1: The High Line

Mon, Oct 12    6:30pm

The first WORKS session will discuss the HIGH LINE with its key contributors: James Corner (Field Operations), Elizabeth Diller, (DS+R, Princeton), and several others.

WORKS is a new series that throughout the upcoming semesters will discuss a selection of projects that have contributed to the production of realities through the mobilization of resources, agendas and constituencies; by connecting distant scales and actors; and as active components within broader social, ecological, cultural, and political transformations.

How are the disciplines of the built environment being called upon to participate in some of the most consequential transformations of our time? How can we address rapidly changing conditions across ecological systems, technological infrastructures, economies, forms of governance, and modes of collective life through which the built environment is produced?

Underlying WORKS is a question of growing urgency: What is the most meaningful use of our disciplines, our practices, and our forms of knowledge today? What capacities must architecture, preservation, real estate and urbanism cultivate if they are to participate substantively in addressing the challenges that define the present? And what enables our fields to earn a meaningful place within the processes where realities are negotiated, assembled, and made consequential?
