In January 1992, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum hosted a four-day symposium entitled "The Edge of the Millennium." This event brought together architects, planners, and designers under one theme. Thirty-six speakers participated in an interdisciplinary debate that focused on critical issues of immense relevance to all the design professions. The four day symposium elicited dramatic pronouncements and provocative calls for action from the participants. Of the thirty-six essays presented at the symposium, thirty have been editorially selected and illustrated to be included in the book.The contributors rank among the most respected scholars and practitioners in the international design community, including Alan Balfour, director of the Architectural Association; Rosemarie Haag Bletter, architectural historian and author; Andrea Branzi, vice-president and founder of the Domus Academy in Milan; Peter Cook, architect, London; Alan Plattus, associate dean at Yale School of Architecture; Michael Sorkin, architectural critic and author; and John Hejduk, dean of The Cooper Union. |
