Berlin-New York Dialogues
Cultural Kapital / Capital Kultur: Exhibition Symposium
Saturday, 11/10/2007, 11:00am–5:00pm
Cultural Kapital / Capital Kultur will examine the factors that contribute to the identities of Berlin and New York and, particularly, how do the forces of culture and capital coexist, compete and shape these cities? Discussions will consider: how culture is supported (what processes and funding exists and what needs to change); what is the role of policy in relation to culture (how do artists, artisans, and architects affect a range of issues from zoning to job creation); and how does a city ensure that creative individuals and groups who re-use spaces and spur community preservation are able to survive once neighborhoods are re-vitalized.
The ambition of the Berlin / New York Dialogues program is to provide a platform for architects, urban planners, and policy makers to understand and share lessons-learned concerning the circumstances and approaches that define how forces of culture and capital affect the physical fabric of our cities.
Invited panelists from Berlin and New York will include: Illya Azaroff, Design Collective Studio, New York; Markus Bader, raumlabor_berlin, Berlin; Susan Chin, Department of Cultural Affairs, New York; Matthew Griffin, deadline architects, Berlin; Regula Lüscher, Department of Urban Development, Berlin; Kristien Ring, German Center for Architecture (DAZ), Berlin; Jochen Sandig, Radialsystem, Berlin; Ron Shiffman, Graduate Center for Planning and Environment, Pratt Institute, New York; Claire Weisz, Weisz and Yoes Architects, New York; Lynnette Widder, Department of Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and Peter Zlonicky, Architect and Planner, MunichOrganized by: AIA New York Chapter in collaboration with Deutsches Haus at NYU and Pratt Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment
