The Architectural League of New York is preparing for the 2015 Beaux Arts Ball: Threshold, taking place at the Knockdown Center in Queens on September 18. Co-chaired by Vishaan Chakrabarti of SHoP Architects and Maria Alataris this year, the "Threshold" theme gives a hats off to the start of another cultural year for the League and the wider New York design community.
Every year at the Beaux Arts Ball, over 1,000 attendees from the architecture and design community gather at different architecturally historic venue, which is always based within NYC's five boroughs. Architects, designers, and artists get to have a night of fun while helping support the League's programs.
Read on to learn about what's in store for this year's event.
Threshold celebrates the Knockdown Center's specific industrial history, while nodding to the Ball as a kick-off to the cultural year — not only for The Architectural League, but for the entire New York design community. This year's event will take place at the Knockdown Center, a former doorframe factory restored into an artist/performance space. Inside the factory’s 50,000 square foot, 40-foot high spaces, the design offices of Alibi Studio, MODU, and Moorhead & Moorhead will create site-specific “threshold” installations.
