Architecture & Design Event Talks András Szántó As Speaker on “Cultural Transformations: Rethinking Spaces & Places for Art” Panel at the Goethe-Institut New York
October 2024
András Szántó participated in a panel discussion on adaptive reuse for cultural institutions at the Goethe-Institut New York on October 10. Moderated by The Architect’s Newspaper Executive Editor Jack Murphy, speakers included Jhaelen Eli-Hernandez (VP Capital Projects. The Metropolitan Museum of Art), Jeanne Gang (Founding Principal and Partner, Studio Gang), Stephan Schütz (Managing Partner, gmp Architects). The standing-room-only discussion reflected the urgency architects of all kinds, and particularly those tasked with building cultural institutions, feel about the fast approaching climate crisis. Such institutions, museums among them, need to embrace adaptive reuse much more systematically. The most significant impact institutions can have, however, is to shape public perceptions about our climate future. Photo: Detlef Jessen-Klingenberg Read More call_made
