Never Built Live at the Queens Museum: Architects and Planners on their Unrealized Work

How did Never Built New York's unrealized projects meet their fate—and what did their makers learn from the experience? On Sunday, February 4th, Never Built New York author Sam Lubell and architecture critic Alexandra Lange moderate a discussion at the Queens Museum with twelve architects, planners, and historians discussing the stories behind the show’s unrealized urban visions.

Never Built Live at the Queens Museum: Architects and Planners on their Unrealized Work

Literary historian Cheryl J. Fish will discuss June Jordan’s contribution to Buckminster Fuller’s Harlem Skyrise. Architect Frederick Noyes will weigh in on his father Eliot’s Westinghouse Pavilion for the 1964 World’s Fair. Henry Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners will illustrate the ten-year saga of a never-built upgrade to JFK Airport, and Christen Johansen, Associate at Ennead Architects, will discuss his father John Johansen’s Leapfrog City. Other participants include Dan Wood, Principal at WORKac; Winka Dubbeldam, Principal at Archi-Tectonics; Ian Volner, author of "Michael Graves: Design For Life;" Jennifer Gray, Guest Frank Lloyd Wright Curator at Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library; Moses Gates, Director for Community Planning & Design at the Regional Plan Association; Jaron Lubin, Principal at Safdie Architects; Mark Husser, Managing Partner at Grimshaw Architects; and Andrea Lamberti, Partner at Rafael Viñoly Architects.

This wide-ranging event will be emcee’d by exhibition co-curator Sam Lubell and architecture critic Alexandra Lange.
