The Architectural League of New York presents a lecture series and exhibition of work by the winners of its 27th annual competition for young architects and designers. This year’s theme, “Resonance,” challenged entrants to consider expanded communication networks, in a time when architects’ productive power is increasingly strengthened by technological advances. Cross-fertilization with other disciplines and industries was encouraged as well.
