Week of walks: October 18-24
October 6, 2009
Photo credit: Alissa Walker The MFA Interaction Design Department is co-sponsoring a city walk by Alissa Walker, author of the new City Walks Architecture: New York. Join Alissa and a group of special guests for a tour of “Sustainable Skyscrapers: Times Square Goes Green” to learn about the reactive interiors and intelligent materials that make up the Bank of America Tower and six more of the city’s greenest buildings. During the walking tour, we’ll find out how this unlikely corner of the city is going green, from low-energy LEDs to pocket parks in closed streets. Then we’ll head to SVA’s Interaction Design HQ for eco-friendly refreshments.
