The stark, minimalist white space of New York's Art Directors
Club was the very á propos location for the latest in our THINK{drinks}
series of discussions, titled "Is the Design Media Too Sheltered?"
Guests from the worlds of design and architecture schmoozed, enjoyed free Bombay
Sapphire cocktails, and listened to a panel that included Robert Ivy,
editor-in-chief of Architectural
Record; Paola Antonelli, curator of architecture and design at
MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art); Julie Iovine, a reporter for The
New York Times; James Sanders, architect, documentarian, and author
of Celluloid
Skyline, a book about architecture in film; and Karen Steen,
senior editor at Metropolis.
The event was produced and moderated by Victoria Rowan.
