The Festival At New York’s Festival Of Ideas For The New City, which is taking place from 4 to 8 May 2011 around the New Museum in New York, architectural institutions, the creative community and grassroots initiatives will address issues about the future of the city and provide diverse impulses for the urban future. In addition to symposia, workshops, lectures, projects and exhibitions, a big StreetFest will be held at which proponents of alternative ways of life will be represented. Thousands of residents of the city and tourists from all over the world are expected to attend the Festival, which is being organized by the New Museum for the first time in New York. |
The Exhibition The exhibition on the Audi Urban Future Initiative will make an important contribution to the Festival Of Ideas For The New City. The Initiative gives center stage to four perspectives for a sustainable city of the future. These perspectives are based on the results of the Audi Urban Future Award 2010, in which five renowned international architectural practices took part: Alison Brooks Architects, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, Cloud 9, J. Mayer H. and standardarchitecture. |
Contents of the Exhibition The results of the Audi Urban Future Award 2010 were first presented during the 12th Architecture Biennale 2010 in Venice in the Scuola Grande della Misericordia within an architectural exhibition space designed by Raumlaborberlin, a collective of architects and artists. An international jury chose Jürgen Mayer H. as the prize winner from among the participating architectural practices and their exhibited results. From 7 to 9 May the four principal theses can be seen in New York, summarized in the form of an exhibition. |

Audi Urban Future: Project New York In addition to the main exhibition, five up-and-coming New York architecture practices will present the Audi Urban Future: Project New York. In cooperation with Architizer the teams will transfer the visions of the Award participants to Manhattan as a modeling exercise. In this way visions for the future can be experienced on an outsize model of New York.

Vortrag, Diskussion & Performance In the Draw-Think-Tank sociologists and architects come together with Audi engineers. During the discussions participants will sketch their thoughts by means of an iPad graphics application, and the audience will be able to follow the resultant overall graphic image live on monitors. The renowned architectural institution Storefront for Art and Architecture will curate the event together with Stylepark.

The Audi Urban Future Initiative on its partnership with the New Museum "For the official launch of the Audi Urban Future Initiative we could hardly find a more suitable occasion than the Festival of Ideas for a New City, which we are supporting as lead sponsor. The rapid worldwide growth of cities creates complex social challenges. In order to take the right decisions today for a high quality of urban life in the future, we need new ways of thinking.
