Architecture: Designs for Living: State of the Art in Emergency Department Design
Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place
The theme Architecture: Designs for Living is intended to represent the broad range of building typologies that shape our communities and urban design that defines our city. The theme is also envisioned as our response to the Mayor’s PlaNYC, which anticipates the need for sustainable growth to accommodate one million new residents. This is the fifth of 12 monthly programs by AIA New York Chapter committees that will explore current design directions that will formthe “building blocks” for new growth envisioned by PlaNYC.
A panel of four architects with expertise in the design of Emergency Department design will present their recently built projects, highlighting their approach to design, problem solving, and fulfilling the mission of emergency response for their clients.
