13th Annual Fête: Benefactors Dinner
By Institute for Public Architecture
New York, NY 11231
You are cordially invited to join the Institute for Public Architecture at our 13th Annual Fête celebrating thirteen years of social impact programs that use design to address social, physical, and environmental inequities in the city. Proceeds from this event directly support IPA programs.
This year we will honor two distinguished practitioners who are leading the conversation around public architecture, civic space, civil rights, and racial justice:
Deborah N. Archer, Associate Dean at NYU Law, President of the ACLU, and author of “Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality”.
Billie Tsien, Architect, Founder of Studio Tsien and Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects
