Each one of these towers was designed by a star-architect, and they have come to offer a new way of New York lifestyle.

    The Carnegie Museum of Art has opened a new show that comes to celebrate and define current architecture through the work of 10 practices from around the world. The exhibition is called The Fabricated Landscape, and it explores some innovative minds working in contemporary architecture today.

Amazing!

Glad you finally did it Daniella. Can’t wait to listen to all of your guests and their first hand real life experience, process and trajectory. There’s a huge gap between student and professional life, I hope this podcast will help us, future generations, to have a better understanding of the architectural world.
