I’ve been to the Domino neighborhood he was developing!! I look forward to visiting again, to pay attention to all the urban design patterns he mentioned!! the Cornell professors were so friendly, the red wine (5/5) and cheese plate (5/5) were delicilus before and after the lecture!! I really like the mixture of attendees: students (around 30 architecture undergrad and masters students!!), alumni (so many came back and connected with students regarding jobs), and the general public (many architects and developers, as well as everyone interested in urban design and architecture!!) come to future Cornell Architecture events in NYC!! - 4/8 Finding Value Jared Della Valle, CEO and Founder AJ Pires, President of Allon - 4/15 Land Rich/Cash Poor: Marrying Institutional Mission with Development Dan Kaplan, Senior Partner, FXCollatorative Miriam Harris, SVP Transit: Orienta Development; MTA signup for the Eventbrite invite list below!!
