In June, the AIANY Cultural Facilities Committee organized a panel to discuss preparing our cultural facilities for the future. The panel, including AMS Principal Steven Wolff along with Steven A. Adelman, V.P., Event Safety Alliance; Founder, Adelman Law Group; Heather McAvoy, ASTC, Principal, Schuler Shook; Delia Nevola, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, Steinberg Hart, and moderated by Alexa Antopol, Chief Intelligence Officer, Fisher Dachs Associates discussed what can we, as planners and designers, do to enhance safety beyond that of attendees in response to the current pandemic, how they can function to combat systemic racism—and can we better prepare these buildings for the future? See the recording, A Symphony of Confusion: Sorting Through What’s Next for our Cultural Facilities, posted by the Center for Architecture.
