Panelists include David Gersten, architect and Professor of Architecture at The Cooper Union; Hansy Better Barraza, practicing architect and Associate Professor at the Rhode Island School of Design; Adam Michaels, founder of Project Projects & Inventory Books; Gloria Kury, publisher and director of Gutenberg Periscope Publishing, an independent press for art and architecture; and Margaret Morton, Photographer and Professor at The Cooper Union.
