This fall, New York Now returns to the Center for Architecture, showcasing recent work by members of the AIA New York Chapter.

The exhibition will include works of all scales: small, large, commercial, residential, public, private, interiors, historic preservation, engineering, landscape and urban design. The non-juried exhibition, “New York Now” will offer a snapshot of where we are at this moment, and celebrate the diversity of the membership by representing the depth and breadth of its work and contributions to the field. “New York Now” will open on October 11, 2007. The exhibition will be organized by the Center for Architecture according to the nature and quantity of submissions received.
Exhibition on view through December 2007
