7.30.09 | New York, NY | Opening at New York's Center for Architecture on Oct. 6, the show "ContextContrast" attempts to answer the question, "In historic districts, when is modern architecture OK?"

This topic is of longstanding concern to Sherida Paulsen, 2009 president of AIANY and former commissioner of the Landmarks Preservation Commission in New York City. Paulsen tapped the author and historian Rachel Carley to curate this show, which reflects the theme of Ms. Paulsen's tenure as president.

Please join us for a preview and opening party on Oct. 6 for "ContextContrast: New Architecture in Historic Districts, 1967-2009".
