Introducción de la jornada por Beatrice Galilee
Welcome to In Our Time: A Year of Architecture in a Day, a convening at The Met devoted to presenting the most exciting, important, and creative contemporary architectural and design projects and ideas.
In planning this event, we defined the scope to projects completed in the past year (2015-2016) and, at the same time, expanded a definition of architectural practice to encom - pass a cross-section of design, from buildings and books to exhibitions, cinema, and photography. Our speakers address topics with a global reach, reflecting the beautiful, challeng - ing, and complicated world in which we live. Their topics are as diverse as the design of the human species, microhousing in New York, refugee camps in Gao, Mali, the rural movement in China, cultural projects in Santiago, Chile, and buildings under construction here in New York.
We hope you find this day of lectures, discourse, and film inspiring and enlightening, and look forward to seeing you at The Met again soon.
Beatrice Galilee, Daniel Brodsky Associate Curator of Architecture and Design Department of Modern and Contemporary Art
