As architects of the current time, people expect us to have an awareness of what is going on in the design world. It’s important to be up on current design developments and it’s necessary to have a working knowledge of the prominent examples of modernism. We find NYC to be the culture hub of the design world; it is, arguably, the most important city in the world for modern design and culture. And while we’re 2,800 miles away here in Seattle, we find it imperative to get our feet on Manhattan pavement a couple of times each year. As an architectural laboratory and one of the greatest social experiments ever conducted on earth, NYC is one of the best places for the design-minded to observe, research, and learn. We did just that on our recent trip earlier this summer; subsequently we’ve got a suitcase full of new, cool design to share with you. Many, many more on the Modern List.
