On Tuesday, October 13, the Skyscraper Museum will host their fall kick-off lecture and reception, Shanghai Skyline.
Architectural Record Editor-in-Chief, Robert Ivy, will moderate a panel including Paul Katz, Institute fellow Bruce Fowle, Jack Portman, David Scott, and Timur Galen, who will recall how they snagged Shanghai commissions in the 1980s and ’90s, illustrate recent projects, and reflect on the relevance of the past recession for today’s downturn.
