NEW NEW YORK: FAST FORWARD
Exhibition Design

March 30-May 5, 2007

This Architectural League exhibition mapped more than six hundred new building and planning projects from individual buildings to neighborhood-scale master plans, now under construction or in planning, to provide a glimpse of the big picture: what is being proposed, where new building is concentrated, what the buildings under construction will look like when completed. LTL designed an anamorphic-stretched map of Manhattan onto which postcards describing each new building project were connected to their designated locations in the city; the new projects engulf the map. Three additional maps took on unique sites where extensive development is under way: The Spring Creek Houses in East New York, the Bronx River Greenway, and west Chelsea. Running around the gallery walls, twenty-five influential New York City architects offer their opinions of the city's changing horizon through interviews conducted by curator Gregory Wessner.
