This event will include a Q&A session at the end with Nader Tehrani.
In this episode of ON CITIES, host Carie Penabad speaks with Nader Tehrani, delving into the intricate relationship between material culture and tectonic innovation. Tehrani elaborates on the ways that his work seeks to disrupt the construction industry by bridging the gap between the world of ideas and the world of making.

“Lyrical Urbanism: The Taipei Music Center celebrates and communicates the vibrant energy and intensity of the recently completed Taipei Music Center that was designed by architects and Cooper alumni Jesse Reiser AR’81 and Nanako Umemoto AR’83 of Reiser+Umemoto, RUR Architecture. The exhibition introduces the complex’s iconic architecture to an American audience through large-scale photographs, videos, music, and architectural models and drawings. Lyrical Urbanism illustrates the many ways the Music Center is currently inhabited—from informal daytime outdoor markets to organized evening-time music festivals—and how it has become an important urban district where Taiwanese music and culture is cultivated, celebrated, and projected toward a global audience.”
Free and Open to the Public. More information HERE.
