Rail lines, bridges, highways, waterways, and off-ramps—larger than life but part of it, infrastructural systems are the enduring forms of urban evolution, multiplying as cities grow and requiring expanding swaths of territory to accommodate more and more monofunctional requirements. What if the very hard line between landscape, architecture, engineering, and urbanism could find a more synthetic convergence?

Join Van Alen Program Leadership Council members Marion Weiss and Michael A. Manfredi, alongside Alexandra Lange, Barry Bergdoll, Stan Allen, and Van Alen Executive Director David van der Leer in a discussion that explores the potential to shape a new public realm.

FREE – Auditorium doors open at 5:30 p.m.
