Vertical Urban Factory

 Opening tomorrow at the Skyscraper Museum is Vertical Urban Factory, "an independent show curated by architectural historian and critic Nina Rappaport ... [that] explores historic and contemporary concepts for the design, structure, mechanization, and economics of multi-storied factories, and their relationship to the urban environment."



I'm heading to the press preview this evening and will update with photos and some more information.

Update 01.12: Here are some photos from the preview. The exhibition is very thorough, clearly well researched and presented. There is so much information that a short visit was not enough to absorb even part of it; a return trip is necessary.






This last shot is looking up at the reflective ceiling, rotated 180 degrees to look right side up.
