Current Work is a lecture series featuring leading figures in the worlds of architecture, urbanism, design, and art.
In 2023, the Current Work series will look at collaborative design processes across scales, from urban design to individual buildings. In an effort to reflect the many disciplines that are involved in the processes of design and building, rather than focusing on individual practitioners or firms, each event will instead explore a single project or instance of collaboration.
The Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation is the latest addition to New York’s American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), opening to the public in April 2023. Designed by Studio Gang, the Center’s architecture comes together around a five-story atrium and opens into interactive exhibition spaces featuring live insects and the Museum’s library of more than three million scientific specimens, allowing visitors a view of working collections areas. The Center is designed to encourage exploration, expanding access to the Museum and uniting the 26 buildings which make up the historic institution.
In a unique gathering, the program will include presentations from both the client and the designer, with participation from Studio Gang and AMNH leadership. These presentations will be followed by a panel discussion about the collaborative process behind this major project, as well as audience Q&A.
