The proliferation of ultra-luxurious supertalls in Midtown has morphed the New York City skyline into an array of stalactites. Funded by an opaque web of global capital, many of the towers remain under occupied as safety deposit boxes for elites both near and far. While visible from afar, the towers remain off limits to most city residents. That is until visual artist and architect ANDI SCHMIED - featured in the New Yorker (and #20!) posed as an apartment-hunting Hungarian billionaire to document the inner workings of Manhattan’s exclusive high-rise properties.
This talk, hosted in partnership with Head Hi bookstore, includes Andi Schmied (beaming in over Zoom), and architects Lane Rick and Harvard GSD Assistant Professor Jacob Reidel, in discussion of Private Views: A High-Rise Panorama of Manhattan.
