4:00 pm, Model Gallery Tour and discussion

Designers five years or less out of school are invited to a tour and discussion with architect, Gabriel McKinney, and archivist, Laura Galvanek at the Richard Meier & Partners Model Gallery in Long Island City, NY. The private tour offers a rare glimpse into the process behind Richard Meier’s 40-year career as an architect.

The exhibit space occupying 3,600 square feet features work from the 1960s through to the present. Most prominent in the studio are large-scale presentation models and study models of the Getty Center, widely regarded as Meier’s most ambitious project.

The Model Gallery Tour is open to all young designers five years or less out of school; whether you are a graphic, industrial, or fashion designer, an artist or architect, Design in 5 invites you to attend. Reservations are required as the group will be limited to 20 people: please email designin5@archleague.org or call 212.753.1722 x 13 to reserve and receive more information.

Design in 5 responds to this youngest group of designers, providing unique opportunities and activities for exchanging ideas across disciplines, fostering camaraderie, and above all, having fun.
