“The ability to design – to plan and shape a vision using skill and creativity – is one of humankind’s distinguishing features. Here in New York, design is all around us, from the architecture and urban planning that compose the feel of our neighborhoods to the fashions worn by our trendiest residents. It is in this spirit that the city of New York is proud to once again celebrate Design Week.”
“We are especially excited for City Magazine and NY3D’s gathering on Greene, where SoHo’s finest design stores will raise money for New York Education + Design (NYED), a unique initiative pairing the Big Apple’s top architects with students from Urban Assembly’s High School of Design and Construction – who will ensure that New York remains one of the world’s best designed cities for years to come.”
