It was wonderful to see so many Fellows this past Tuesday night at Double Crown restaurant for the 2010 Fall Fellows’ Dinner, The Social Life of (Very) Small Urban Spaces! Thanks again to all of our presenters, including NYC DOT plaza program director Andy Wiley-Schwartz, architect and Fellow Claire Weisz, artist Mary Miss, and Snøhetta Times Square team members Maura Rockcastle and Claire Fellman. It was a wonderful evening, and a truly provocative discussion. Make sure to check out our photo album on Facebook if you were unable to attend, and stay tuned for information on our next Breakfast Club — we hope to see you there.

10th Breakfast Club

Institute Fellows gathered at the Center for Architecture this morning, along with several distinguished guests, for a stimulating discussion of land use policy in New York City, and the work of the current Charter Revision Commission. Guests included Councilman Brad Lander, Commission Member Hope Cohen, the Related Companies’ Jay Kriegel, and Hunter College professor Tom Angotti. It was great to see so many of our Fellows at the Club; stay tuned for information about our next event, which should be coming up in September. In the meantime, check out the Facebook photo album from today’s discussion and, if you miss the Club but are still interested in learning more about land use, don’t miss the AIANY’s Land Use Education Forum tonight at 6:00 PM at the Center for Architecture.
