As part of the Day 1 Keynote, David Rockwell, FAIA, spoke with 99% Invisible podcast host Roman Mars, recommending that architects don’t always try to create buildings that are permanent, but remember to be in the moment and embrace the ephemeral.

In the panel Sustainable Transformation: Public-Private Partnership Leads the Way, 2016 AIANY President Carol Loewensen, FAIA, and AIANY board member Regina Meyer spoke about NYU’s developments in Downtown Brooklyn.
