Description

Architects and designers have the incredible opportunity to design the public spaces where life happens. From libraries and theaters to museums and more, these spaces define our communities and lives.  
As society evolves, designers are creating innovative solutions for these types of spaces that help them adapt to change, do more for communities, and inspire wonder. This Fast Track will highlight a range of projects, from a fossil park to the theater where Shakespeare in the Park is performed, that are setting new precedents in public architecture across New York City. Attendees will then break into groups to imagine and start designing their own future-focused public architecture spaces.
