Refashioning the Culture

From the late 1960s till the mid-1980s, the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS) stood at the very center of New York's architecture culture, acting as a platform for projects ranging from the publications Oppositions, October, and Skyline, to books like Rem Koolhaas' Delirious New York, and numerous exhibitions, classes, and public programs.

Join professor Kim Förster for the launch of the most thorough account of the IAUS story to date, his new book Building Institution: The Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, New York 1967–1985. Förster will be in conversation with critic and NYRA contributor Thomas de Monchaux to discuss the histories, myths, and legacies of a pivotal moment in American architecture culture.
