If your new year’s resolution was to start attending more architecture events, then you are in luck! Especially in New York, where, among others, Exit Art, the Guggenheim and the AIA are providing a diverse and important range of public engagements. In Paris, catch Christian de Portzamparc explain his vision for “Grand Paris”. But if you are in San Francisco, don’t miss a rare opportunity to visit the Studio of our friends at Public Architecture.

I would be particularly excited if you joined me and Marc Kushner of Architizer at the Center for Architecture, New York where we will be presenting on a panel about architectural communications.  We are even going to offer some tips on how to make Architizer perform better for you.  It is the capping off of Social Media Week at Architizer, starting Monday.

As always, please send me your event listings and suggestions and I look forward to seeing you out and about.
