Truly exceptional panel moderation work by Aaron! I feel both humble and honored to sit besides great minds discussing our works and thought on providing more housing for the New Yorker with a focus on affordability, sustainability, local engagement and promoting wellness. Stealing a great line emerged from our discussion: Good Design Matters!

It was truly an honor to moderate this fascinating panel today at #NewYorkBuild: "Prioritizing People: Designing Spaces that Put People First." Thanks to these brilliant panelists: Florencia Kratsman, Director of Interior Architecture at FXCollaborative; Christien Methot, Founder-Principal Designer at Design One Lighting; Sara Schuster, Principal at STUDIOS Architecture; Adam Paul Susaneck, Project Manager at AECOM; and Trax Wang, Associate Director at Fogarty Finger. While we face many public health, safety, and affordable housing challenges in New York City, this extraordinary group of architects, artists, and designers have numerous ongoing residential, workplace, public space, highway, and street projects that engage our local communities and put New Yorkers first.
