The time has come for The Architectural League of New York's annual Beaux Arts Ball, taking place at Weylin B. Seymour's in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York on Saturday, September 20. The 2014 theme, "Craft", celebrates the value of artisanship in architecture and multi-disciplinary collaboration in creating architecture. This year's co-chairs include Tod Williams and Billie Tsien.
Drawing inspiration from the recent interior renovations of Weylin B. Seymour's — an 1875 George B. Post and Peter B.Wight-designed former Williamsburgh Savings Bank — nine architects and designers will work with Nuit Blanche New York to create digital projection interpretations that will highlight the "craft" of the building's interior design in its central domed space.
Check out more event details that The Architectural League sent us.
"The Ball will take place at Weylin B. Seymourʼs, which is located in an 1875 George B. Post and Peter B. Wight designed former Williamsburgh Savings Bank. Its exuberant interior decorations of tiling and mosaics, patterned wallpapers, frescoed domes, carved wood and stone, and bronze and gilt work, recently magnificently restored, will serve as inspiration for nine architects and designers, who with Nuit Blanche New York will project digital interpretations of its motifs and details on the interior of the buildingʼs central domed space. The projections will seek to highlight the “craft” embedded in the buildingʼs design and its careful stewardship. In advance of the Ball, The Architectural League has interviewed the team of artisans and consultants who worked on the buildingʼs restoration and will release a series of digital features and photographic essays further."
