Friday 05.09.14 marks the beginning of NYCxDESIGN 2014, a citywide event showcasing all disciplines of design, from graphics and fashion, to architecture and urban planning. It offers a platform for cultural and commercial opportunities, elevates established and emerging practices, and increases awareness of and appreciation for design. The Center for Architecture will kick off the design celebration with the opening of “ENCOUNTERS,” an exhibition featuring the work of the Spanish practice luis vidal + architects.
