NYCxDesign (pronounced New York by Design) validates what has become a thriving time of design- and art-related activity in town during the past [...]
One of the most valuable things an editorially focused online entity offers in today’s content-driven world of the internet is point of view, and a site has emerged that brings an informed perspective to bear on architecture and design.

I’d like to thank The Guardian for putting the Light Show exhibition at Hayward Gallery in London, England, on my radar. The retrospective of artists of the past 50 years for whom light is their medium looks to be a brilliant selection of illuminated works. The way the UK newspaper profiled James Turrell, who Interview [...]
