Pitch Sheet: Print Fundraiser, New Grounds Recording & Events
This Week in New York Architecture
No editorializing today - straight to the content.
First, we have a fundraiser! We are proud to announce the sale of the few remaining prints of a drawing donated to the Review by one of our longtime readers and supporters, Reiser + Umemoto. The print (above) is an unrolled elevation drawing of Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto’s iconic O-14 tower in Dubai. Each risograph print is signed and numbered by the architects on heavyweight, cotton-fiber paper (Arches 88, 330gsm). Each measures 10.5” x 16”, comes unframed, and was printed by a83 in 2020 in an edition of 35.
The remaining prints are available for $100/each + insured shipping via FedEx. Prints can also be picked-up in-person from a83 in Soho. Please contact editor@nyra.nyc if you would like to purchase a print.
Your purchase supports the New York Review of Architecture, and will ensure that we can continue to pay our contributors and maybe even - eventually - build a proper website.
Second, our video director James Coleman has just edited and published the recording of the New Grounds for Education conversation. Along with the 32 panelists there were a lot of people in attendance - almost 400 - and a very active q&a and chat. We are looking for ways to publish those as well.
Skip to 8:35 to get past the introductions (and me) and see what James said is possibly the most cinematic moment we have ever created on zoom.
As reform is not a single event, but a process, for those who want to stay directly engaged with the student organizers we gathered, many of the organizers have pulled together to create an organization ‘Emergent Grounds for Design Education’ - you can sign up here.
Finally, events! Conversations. All of it on zoom. A lot happening this week - tell us (editor@nyra.nyc) if you want to attend and write any of them up.
