Architecture League lecture description:
Can architects assume a larger role in determining the shape of design in the city by becoming economic stakeholders? Can developers create well-designed projects that are economically viable? This program will look at how some architects and developers are envisioning and evolving new roles for themselves in the city building process.
Gregg Pasquarelli is a principal of SHoP. The firm’s current and recent work in New York City includes a master plan for the East River Waterfront, an academic building and master plan for the Fashion Institute of Technology, a new condominium building on Mulberry Street, and the Porter House, a condominium in the Meat Packing District developed in partnership with Jeffrey Brown.
As part of its redevelopment project for the Greenport waterfront, SHoP built a camera obscura in which a mirror and lense project exterior imagery onto walls of the dark interior chamber.

This project as well as amazing new work by David Chipperfield, Herzog and de Meuron, Morphosis, and many other well-known firms is included in Details in Contemporary Architecture, the first volume in our new AsBuilt series. This indispensable volume extensively explores the common as well as more exotic architectural detailing (screens and walls, doors and windows, roofs, bridges, and stairs) that so often gets lost in the pages and photographs of the design media.
