Harlem Edge / Cultivating Connections

The Harlem Edge | Cultivating Connections competition, hosted by the Emerging New York Architects Committee of the AIA New York Chapter, will explore the redevelopment of the decommissioned Department of Sanitation marine transfer station located in the Hudson River at 135th Street. The site offers the opportunity to engage the local Harlem community with the waterfront, and echoes recent efforts by New York City to reclaim the waterfront for non-industrial use, as included Department of City Planning in its Vision 2020, the Comprehensive Waterfront Action Plan for New York City.

Exhibition Closing:
“Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream”
The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street New York, NY, 10019 USA
An exploration of new architectural possibilities for cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis. During summer 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers, and landscape designers worked in public workshops at MoMA PS1 to envision new housing and transportation infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country’s suburbs. Responding to The Buell Hypothesis, a research report prepared by the Buell Center at Columbia University, teams—lead by MOS, Visible Weather, Studio Gang, WORKac, and Zago Architecture—focused on a specific location within one of five “megaregions” across the country to come up with inventive solutions for the future of American suburbs. This installation presents the proposals developed during the architects-in-residence program, including a wide array of models, renderings, animations, and analytical materials.

Exhibition Closing
Visions of Empire: The Quest for a Railroad Across America, 1840–1880

MaryLou and George Boone Gallery Drawing on The Huntington’s unparalleled resources of unpublished letters and diaries, tourist guide books and travel narratives, railroad posters and stereographic photographs, “Visions of Empire” illuminates the remarkable changes wrought in the United States by the “iron horse.”
Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the Pacific Railroad Act, the exhibition follows the evolving notion of spanning the North American continent by rail from its earliest appearance through its eventual implementation in 1869. In doing so, it also depicts the astounding engineering feats and intricate technological advances required to achieve that goal as well as the striking entrepreneurial audacity involved and the vast amounts of financial and political energy necessary to propel such endeavors forward. “Visions of Empire” highlights the sweeping economic, social, and cultural transformations unleashed by the unfolding era of transcontinental railroads across California, the West, and the nation as a whole.
