New York Museums Lend a Hand to Struggling Architects

While architects may be facing only a 50% chance at finding a regular paying gig these days, fortunately in New York there are a couple of charitable arms out there trying to help out. The L Magazine profiles the work of The Bronx Museum of Arts and the MoMA, both of which are trying to open their doors up to architects who likely haven’t been having the best couple of years. The Bronx decided to run an exhibition featuring architects’ ideas for redesigning the Grand Concourse that runs through the borough, while the MoMA has opened up space at P.S.1 for research projects concerning “flood problems as a result of global warming” for the NY area. So while it’s not like the museum industry has faired much better since the economy’s fall, but it’s nice to see one group trying to help another, despite these trying times.
