New York City has a rich architectural legacy that contains innovative designs in virtually every style, including famous works by Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei and Frank Gehry. Each successive generation of architects has produced imaginative and iconic architecture for New York. This SDG will examine outstanding examples of urban architecture from the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries, including Art Deco, Modernist, Brutalist, International and Contemporary masterpieces. We will read the American Institute of Architects Guide to New York City (Oxford University Press 2020) and How to Read New York: A Crash Course on New York Architecture (Rizzoli 2012). Participants will study pertinent architects and SDG topics using the core texts and online resources. (Second 7 weeks).
