The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. A global power city, New York exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment.

New York, New York - Skyscraper Museum HD (2016)
The Skyscraper Museum is an architecture museum located in Battery Park City, Manhattan, New York City and founded in 1996. As the name suggests, the museum focuses on high-rise buildings as products of technology, objects of design, sites of construction, investments in real estate, and places of work and residence. The Skyscraper Museum also celebrates the architectural heritage of New York and the forces and people who created New York's skyline. Before moving to the current and permanent location in Battery Park City in 2004, the museum was a nomadic institution, holding pop-up exhibitions in four temporary donated spaces around Lower Manhattan since 1996.
The Skyscraper Museum was founded and is directed by Carol Willis, a professor of architectural history and urban studies at Columbia University. It includes two exhibition spaces for both permanent and temporary exhibitions, a bookstore, and a mezzanine with its office, situated above the bookstore. The museum can be reached by a ramp starting in the basement.

Open House Lecture: Jeanne Gang, “Thinking Through Practice and Research”
American architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang, FAIA, FRIBA, is the founding principal of Studio Gang, an architecture and urban design practice with offices in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Chevalier de l’Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur, Jeanne is internationally renowned for a design process that foregrounds the relationships between individuals, communities, and environments. Her diverse body of work spans scales and typologies, expanding beyond architecture’s conventional boundaries to pursuits ranging from the development of stronger materials to fostering stronger communities. Her approach has resulted in some of today’s most compelling architecture, including Aqua Tower, the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership, and Writers Theatre. She is currently designing major projects throughout the Americas and Europe, including the Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; a unified campus for California College of the Arts in San Francisco; and the new United States Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil.
A recipient of the 2013 National Design Award (Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum), Jeanne was named the 2016 Architect of the Year by the Architectural Review. In 2017, she was honored with the Louis I. Kahn Memorial Award and made an honorary fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. Widely published and acclaimed, her work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Museum of Modern Art, and Art Institute of Chicago. She is the author of Reveal, the first volume on Studio Gang’s work and process, and Reverse Effect: Renewing Chicago’s Waterways, which envisions a radically greener future for the Chicago River.
Jeanne is a distinguished alumna of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she was recently appointed Professor in Practice. Her GSD studios have previously explored the multivalent potential of materiality. This semester she is working with students to explore strategies for rebuilding community infrastructure in the Caribbean Islands following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Jeanne lectures frequently throughout the world and serves on various civic and design-focused committees and advisory groups.

Scratch and sniff wallpaper and facial recognition at London Design Biennale
(3 Sep 2018) LEADIN:
From scratch and sniff wallpaper to facial recognition tech - designers are pushing the boundaries at London Design Biennale.
An Australian artist has created a dazzling fibre optic Rainbow flag to celebrate Australia's recently-passed same-sex marriage laws
STORYLINE:
The London Design Biennale is playing host to 40 countries, cities and territories, all wrestling with the theme 'Emotional States.'
Representing Greece, Studio INI has created this mind-bending wall that flexes, morphs and breathes around visitors as they walk through it.
'Disobedience' is a 17-metre-long wall made from recycled plastic.
The idea is in response to the theme of the biennale of emotional states, which are quite transient and moving and dynamic, explains Nassia Inglessis from Studio INI.
To disobey the idea that architecture and design and really a wall needs to be static and to disobey that notion and make it dynamic.
And in turn, ask our visitors to disobey the role of obedient spectator and go within this wall, transgress a boundary.
Curated by New York's Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, 'Face Values' includes two interactive pieces that explore the scope and limits of what technology can learn about you from your face.
This creation by designer R. Luke DuBois explores the challenges and limits of facial recognition tech.
Visitors sit in front of a screen and are asked to display a specific emotion.
Using technology similar to that deployed by some police forces, the system calculates the individual's age, gender, race and emotional state.
The results are both intrusive and often inaccurate.
DuBois says the technology is only as good as the data that goes into it - and the data sets used to compare emotions are often inadequate.
People are not numbers. People are people, he says.
So, when you start to quantify humanity, you start to treat us like numbers, right? And so, nobody wants to be treated like a number. Does that make sense?
You don't like it when you're turned into just a set of data or facts, right? And it can actually be quite heart-breaking to think of it, you become a statistic.
Latvian designer Arthur Analts is exploring the relationship between man and nature with this interactive installation, called 'Matter to Matter.'
The meditative space is filled with a chilled wall, continually dripping with condensation. Visitors are encouraged to draw on the wall, then watch their creations slowly disappear.
It's an interactive installation where people can come, join, leave their marks, leave their footprint and in a couple of minutes they can naturally disappear, explains Analts.
So, this is (an) idea of how we interact with nature and technology. So, it's like a triangle - human, nature and technology - and what we leave behind us, and the emotion is it depends on the person inside.
So, for example, some might enjoy the whole process of it right because it's very tactile, very emotional. Some might feel joy, some I feel sad because it's disappearing.
Rather than a taste of Hong Kong for visitors, WE-DESIGNS - a New York and Hong Kong-based studio - is giving them a sniff.
Interactive installation 'Sensorial Estates' encourages visitors to scratch and sniff the wallpaper. The different scents are intended to tell the story of Hong Kong's history - from opium to egg tarts.
It's intended to explore the role smell plays in nostalgia and memory.
London Design Biennale runs at Somerset House 4-23 September.

Universal Design: Myth or Reality?
Where did “universal design” come from, and where is it headed? Will our future be populated with products that work for everyone, or we will increasingly use devices customized for an audience of one? How do we acknowledge individual differences while building a more accessible world?
Join Gianfranco Zaccai (Continuum), Jon Marshall (MAP Project office), Scott Summit (3D Systems), and moderator Aimi Hamraie (Vanderbilt University) for a spirited conversation about the origins and future of universal design and accessibility.

Meet the 2019 Loeb Fellows: Stephen Burks
Stephen Burks believes in a pluralistic vision of design inclusive of all cultural perspectives. For his efforts with artisan groups around the world, he has been called a design activist. His ongoing Man Made project bridges the gap between authentic developing world production, industrial manufacturing, and contemporary design. Independently and through association with the nonprofits Aid To Artisans, Artesanias de Colombia, the Clinton Global Initiative, Design Network Africa, and the Nature Conservancy, Burks has consulted on product development with artisan communities throughout the world. In addition, leading, design-driven manufacturers have commissioned him to develop lifestyle collections that engage hand production as a strategy for innovation.
Burks received the Illinois Institute of Technology Alumni Professional Achievement Award, the Brooklyn Museum Modernism Young Designer Award, the Architektur and Wohnen Audi Mentor Prize, the 2008 United States Artists Target Fellowship, and the 2015 Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Product Design.

Diplomacy and Dining: A Look at Table Architecture and Cuisine in Empire France
In this lecture, retired Curator and Head of the Product Design and Decorative Arts Department at Cooper Hewitt Sarah D. Coffin talks about how the Surtout de Table is part of culinary history that starts with sixteenth and seventeenth century banquets and the surtouts, often designed by architects, that served as display on tables of that period. The Napoleonic era extended this tradition with neo-classical design elements, new culinary masterpieces and superstar chefs all of which served to woo supporters and impress ambassadors and heads of state. Eugene de Beauharnais, Napoleon’s stepson often served as host for these lavish diplomatic and social events on behalf of Napoleon, giving added meaning to this surtout which has a provenance to his furnishings.
Sarah Coffin recently retired as Curator and Head of the Product Design and Decorative Arts Department at Cooper Hewitt. She remains involved with the museum having curated the gallery of Tablescapes with the Surtout. In addition she is an authority on culinary design history and lectures widely in this field.
