SUMMARY:Gotham: New York City’s Best Writers: Richard Ford
DESCRIPTION:In Let Me Be Frank with You\, Ford reinvents his character Frank Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In four richly luminous narratives\, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile\, interpret and console a world undone by calamity. Bascombe appeared previously in The Sportswriter\, the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner winning Independence Day\, and The Lay of the Land. Through Bascombe—protean\, funny\, profane\, wise\, often inappropriate—readers meet the aspirations\, sorrows\, longings\, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. \nThis series is made possible in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. \nRSVP for this FREE event here: http://richardford.brownpapertickets.com/ \n

SUMMARY:Sustainability Practice Network 'De Blasio Administration: Freshman Year Report Card’ Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A year ago\, Bill de Blasio won the NYC mayoral election handily with an impressive campaign touting progressive change.

SUMMARY:Exploring Creative Community Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Climate-adapted neighbourhoods. Green boulevards. Community food forests. \nAround the world\, more and more cities are committing to ambitious projects aimed at building resilience in light of climate change. Can emerging models of participatory urbanism provide opportunities for resilience to be negotiated and engaged with by a wide-range of actors? Or are resilience and social innovation being co-opted to advance an increasingly neoliberal regime of urban governance? \n\n\nJoin us for an exciting public event exploring the timely topic of urban resilience and how it intersects with issues of local governance\, participatory democracy\, and climate preparedness. \nOn February 24\, 2015 we will convene at The New School to draw from the  experiences of grassroots organizers\, co-design champions\, urban planning professionals\, storytellers and representatives from many other fields of social innovation (that’s you!) to explore how to make resilience a collaborative and inclusive process of “civic imagination”. \nTogether\, we’ll be gathering the insights and voices of a lively and diverse group of local leaders in NYC (again\, you!) to stimulate a dialogue around climate governance and how it extends to questions of wellbeing\, quality of life\, and social justice. \n—- \nWe’ll kick off the evening with presentations from Enabling City\, Solidarity NYC\, WeAct\, Adapt NY and more to provide us with a glimpse into the diversity of approaches already in existence in the city. We’ll continue with participant-driven content through facilitated\, hands-on conversations designed to stimulate creative action around these pressing issues. Following the event\, we’ll conclude by sharing lessons learned and a final report to set the stage for our follow-up gathering in 2016. \n\nThis event is part of an international series exploring creative community resilience practices in New York City and Copenhagen. Join us! \nGet to know our speakers below – and check back often for updates on speaker line-up\, event activities and more: \n\n\n\n\n\nChiara Camponeschi\nEnabling City\nFounder & Director\n\n\n\nAurash Khawarzad\nWE ACT for Environmental Justice \nPolicy Advocacy Coordinator\n\n\n\nEvan Casper-Futterman\nSolidarity NYC\nMember\, Solidarity NYC & PhD Student at Bloustein School for Planning and Public Policy\, Rutgers University\n\n\n\nAdam Glenn\nAdapt NY\nFounder\, Adapt NY & Associate Professor\, Interactive CUNY Graduate School of Journalism\n\n\n\nGrace Vetrocq Tuttle\nDesigner\, Researcher\, Strategist & Part-Time Faculty\nParsons the New School for Design\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave questions about Exploring Creative Community Resilience?

SUMMARY:Brutal! Paul Rudolph’s Postwar New York Interiors: A Conversation with Timothy M. Rohan and Donald Albrecht
DESCRIPTION:Though best known for brutalist structures like the Jewett Center and the University of Massachussets Dartmouth campus\, architect Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) also designed some of New York’s most remarkable apartment interiors of the late twentieth century. Rudolph’s unconventional use of multiple levels\, photomurals\, and reflective surfaces elicited reactions of both delight and dismay. Drawing upon his new monograph The Architecture of Paul Rudolph\, University of Massachusetts Professor Timothy M. Rohan will discuss the architect’s brutalist interiors\, including Rudolph’s own Beekman Place residence\, the townhouse of 1970s fashion designer Halston and numerous Fifth Avenue apartments. Donald Albrecht\, MCNY Curator of Architecture and Design\, will join Dr. Rohan following his presentation for a conversation. \nBook signing and reception to follow. \nCo-sponsored by DOCOMOMO New York/Tri-State\, the Society of Architectural Historians\, 1stdibs\, and the AIA New York Chapter | Center for Architecture. \nFree for Museum and DOCOMOMO members; $12 students/seniors; $16 general public. \nBuy tickets here: http://www.museumtix.com/tickets/ord_eventcat.aspx?vid=885&pid=188402&eid=3161124&evd=2%2f26%2f2015&evt=18%3a30%3a00&pvt=MCNY

SUMMARY:AfterTaste 2015: Inside Imagination (Day 1)
DESCRIPTION:Parsons School of Constructed Environments is pleased to sponsor: AfterTaste 2015: Inside Imagination.  \nWhat does it take to imagine? We live in an era of environmental crisis and political unrest when complex systems and data analysis dictate projections of an uncertain future. Interiorists study existing places and are charged to imagine new worlds. In AfterTaste 2015 the Parsons School of Constructed Environments draws inspiration from artists\, educators\, writers\, and scientists who work to transcend what we know\, to catapult culture into areas inspired and new.  \nDesigners and thinkers who cultivate the imagination conjure futures\, thinking beyond problem solving to that which has not existed before. What is the spark that creates new possibilities? How can we promote and develop imaginations that can envision and create interiors for an unknown future\, rather than being beholden to the past?  How can we cultivate the unknown in a culture increasingly defined by big data and digital devices of distraction? \nOn February 27 and 28\, 2015\, imagination alchemists\, designers and experts gather to think and enact new possibilities and alternative paths through the interior of the imagination. \nParticipants include:\n– Kyna Leski\, Professor\, Department of Architecture RISD\n– John Warner\, PhD\, Co-Founder of Green Chemistry\n– Gary Graham\, Designer of Fashion\n– Linnea Tillet\, Designer of Light\n– Jean Taylor\, Actress\, Teaching Artist \nCost: Free; No tickets or reservations required.

SUMMARY:Patterns of Interest: Photography by Stephen Mallon
DESCRIPTION:The Kimmel Galleries of New York University are pleased to present Patterns of Interest: Photography by Stephen Mallon\, Included in this exhibit are 20 photographic works by artist Stephen Mallon\, whose work bridges the gap between fine art and photojournalism. Patterns of Interest is on view through March 16\, 2015\, with the opening reception on February 6\, from 6-8pm. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. For more info\, please see the Facebook page. \nKimmel Galleries are located at the Kimmel Center for University Life\, 60 Washington Square South\, 8th Floor.

For all press and sales inquiries\, please contact Ms. Pamela Jean Tinnen\, curator for the Kimmel Galleries: Pam.Tinnen@nyu.edu or 212.998.4950\, 347.634.2938. \nThroughout his career\, he has covered a variety of different photojournalistic projects with a keen\, and artistic eye. From Salvage of Flight\, a series of photographs documenting the salvaging of the US Air flight that airline captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger managed to safely emergency¬ land in the Hudson River on January 15\, 2009\, to most notably\, Next Stop the Atlantic\, wherein he photographed the use of deaccessioned subway cars being repurposed as coral reefs\, Mallon has pushed the boundaries of documentary photograph both in subject\, composition and execution. \nIn Patterns of Interest\, the works are further re-contextualized; intentionally taken out of their respective\, larger bodies of work\, in order to subvert context and allow the viewer to concentrate and meditate on the individual compositions expressed and the patterns illustrated in the plastic\, concrete and steel. \nAbout Stephen Mallon: \nIn 2009\, Mallon made a big splash with “Brace for Impact: The Salvage of Flight 1549\,” The images Mallon produced during his two¬ week effort with Weeks Marine have been in exhibitions in New York\, Miami\, St. Louis\, and Philadelphia and featured on television such as MSNBC\, NBC\, New York Magazine\, Vanity Fair\, and CBS News. In 2010 Stephen’s following solo exhibition “Next Stop Atlantic” was received with great praise from the likes of The New York Times\, National Public Radio\, GQ\, The Atlantic\, and Fast Company. This body of work has been shown at the Look 3 photo festival in Charlottesville\, Miami\, St. Louis\, and Rome. Mallon’s short film\, “A Bridge Delivered\,” about the transportation and installation of the new Willis Avenue Bridge was created from over 30\,000 still images. Mallon’s photos have been honored by Communication Arts\, Photo District News\, The New York Photo Festival\, the Lucie Awards\, International Color Awards\, and Photo Lucida’s Critical Mass top 50. He is also a leader in the photo community. Since 2002\, he has been a board member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers and served as president from 2006 to 2009. \nAbout the Kimmel Galleries: Established in 2003\, Kimmel Galleries are dedicated to providing visually dynamic and thought provoking exhibitions.

SUMMARY:Deconstructing the High Line: A Public Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The High Line\, an innovative promenade created on a disused elevated railway in Manhattan\, is widely recognised as among the most iconic urban landmarks of the 21st century. It has stimulated public interest in landscape design while simultaneously re-integrating an industrial relic into the everyday life of New York City. Since its opening in 2009\, this unique greenway has exceeded expectations in terms of attracting visitors\, investment\, and property development to Manhattan’s West Side\, and is widely celebrated as a monument to community-led activism\, adaptive re-use of urban infrastructure\, and innovative ecological design. It has also inspired a worldwide proliferation of similar proposals seeking to capitalise on the repurposing of disused urban infrastructure for postindustrial revitalisation. \nProviding a much-needed critical perspective\, this interdisciplinary symposium will interrogate the High Line’s relation to public space\, creative practice\, neoliberal urban renewal\, urban political ecology\, and policy-led gentrification. The event brings together scholars from urban studies\, geography\, cultural analysis\, art and architecture\, and is co-sponsored by the Milano School of International Affairs at The New School\, the Department of Urban Studies at Queens College-CUNY and the Amsterdam Center for Globalisation Studies. \n\nThe program will end with a reception and short presentation to mark the publication of Christoph Lindner’s Imagining New York City: Literature\, Urbanism and the Visual Arts (Oxford University Press\, 2015). \nThis event is organised by Joseph Heathcott (The New School)\, Christoph Lindner (University of Amsterdam) and Brian Rosa (Queens College-CUNY). \nFor inquiries\, contact Christoph Lindner (E: c.p.lindner@uva.nl). \n\nPublished by Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies \nPhoto credit by Amsterdam Centre for Globalisation Studies

SUMMARY:Hearing on Proposal For Swimmable New York City Waters
DESCRIPTION:Your voice is needed to call for swimmable (and paddle-able) water in NYC! \nThe NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation has proposed to improve the quality of waterbodies in NYC by amending standards for Class I and SD waters. Those waters – including the Hudson River (south of the Bronx)\, Harlem River\, Bronx River (tidal portion)\, East River\, Flushing Bay\, Newtown Creek\, Gowanus Canal\, Jamaica Bay tributaries\, Kill van Kull\, and Arthur Kill – are currently protected only for fishing and/or “secondary contact” recreation that involves incidental contact with the water. \nHelp call for a higher goal by explicitly including “primary contact recreation” as an officially designated use for these waters. We know that many of these areas are already being used for human powered boating – even swimming. Human powered boating exposes people to same risks of unclean water as swimming. \nLearn more and turn out to this critical public hearing. \nCan’t be there right at noon? Come as soon as you can and add your name to the speaker list while the hearing is going on. \nIf you can’t make the meeting at all\, DEC has extended the public comment period for the proposed rulemaking until 5 p.m. on March 16. Comments should be submitted to NYSDEC\, 625 Broadway\, Albany NY 12233-3500\, Attn: Robert Simson or by email to: Comments.NYCRR701and703@dec.ny.gov. \n– See more at: http://www.riverkeeper.org/news-events/events/dec-hearing-proposed-rulemaking-for-swimmable-waters-in-nyc/#sthash.Mww4ySHc.dpuf \nPhoto courtesy of: http://www.riverkeeper.org/

SUMMARY:Superfund: A Citizen's Guide
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: beigeinside \nMonday\, March 9\, 8:30-10:00pm \nLocation: The Brainery in Prospect Heights \nWith the Environmental Protection Agency’s designation of Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek\, Superfund has become a colloquial term and a buzzword in New York City. \nBut what is a Superfund exactly? How are sites placed on the National Priorities List? Who is a responsible party? What does clean-up entail and how does it involve communities? We will cover all these questions and more in this introduction\, spotlighting Superfund in your neighborhood. This class will focus on citizen participation in the Superfund process and conclude with a discussion of current and future sites in the five boroughs. \nPlease register here: http://brooklynbrainery.com/courses/superfund-a-citizen-s-guide \nTaught by Inna Guzenfeld \nInna Guzenfeld is a planner and urban historian trained at Pratt Institute.

SUMMARY:Planning in Silence: The Challenge of Hybrid Water Provision
DESCRIPTION:Examining the institutional structure of water supply in several African cities\, this talk looks at urban water reform from the perspective of users. In many places\, a large proportion of urban households have exited or have never been connected to a networked supply\, instead relying on a large array of formal\, informal\, state and non-state sources. At the same time\, the lack of adequate and safe water for basic needs and livelihoods negatively impacts poverty reduction and well-being. In such scenarios\, how can the needs and demands of all residents be equitably factored into planned urban development if their voices are missing or excluded from the planning process? \nCharisma Acey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nText credit GSAPP; image credit United Nations University
