Adapting Business to Succeed – (all day seminar)
Center for Architecture, LaGuardia Place
As architects, builders, and product manufacturers we are always subject to many forces and influences. Economic cycles, architectural design trends, environmental concerns, codes and regulations, technology advances, education of new professionals, and current events all shape our industry and the buildings that we make.
The economy has forced us to be more efficient in our design and construction. New emphases on energy efficiency, new design and coordination tools in building information modeling, new construction products that reduce waste and improve the indoor environment ¬– all of these and more come to our attention every day, and have the potential to make us better at what we do. Adaptation is the keyword that links us to the future.

MOMA - Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen
Counter Space explores the twentieth-century transformation
of the kitchen and highlights MoMA’s recent acquisition of an
unusually complete example of the iconic “Frankfurt Kitchen,”
designed in 1926–27 by the architect Grete Schütte-Lihotzky.
In the aftermath of World War I, thousands of these kitchens
were manufactured for public-housing estates being built around
the city of Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany. Schütte-Lihotzky’s
compact and ergonomic design, with its integrated approach to
storage, appliances, and work surfaces, reflected a commitment
to transforming the lives of ordinary people on an ambitious
scale.
