On June 24, IfUD Fellows gathered at the Architectural League of New York’s The City We Imagined, The City We Made exhibition in Lower Manhattan for our 9th Breakfast Club to discuss the subject of the show, development in New York City over the past decade, with its curators, Rosalie Genevro and Gregory Wessner. We were also joined by Columbia University’s Vishaan Chakrabarti, whom many of you may know through his participation in last fall’s Arrested Development symposium, Gregg Pasquerelli of SHoP Architects, who spoke about his work on the Atlantic Yards project, and Emiliano Espasandin, a member of the team that imagined the transportation future of Buenos Aires for the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy’s Our Cities Ourselves exhibit, which opened last night at the Center for Architecture. Thanks to everyone who made it to the Club; a photo album is up on our Facebook page, so take a look!
