We are celebrating 15 years — and counting — of stories that are deeply researched and deeply felt, that build a historical record of what the city has been.
Join Urban Omnibus/The Architectural League and Urban Design Forum for a celebratory launch of the first pieces by this year’s New City Critics.
Tuesday, December 15, 6:00 pm
151 Lafayette Street, Floor 5
New York, NY 10002
Free and open to all. RSVP here.
In collaboration with Open House New York, and guided by workshops with writers Alexandra Lange and Garnette Cadogan, this year’s fellows covered six places either in or ushering in transition — from a new development sited at a former jail complex to a NY Sanitation Department maintenance hub — all opened to the public during OHNY weekend.
Join us to launch the New City Critics’ first published pieces and gain further insights into their methods and processes from six critical perspectives.
The 2026–2027 New City Critics Fellows are Dean Labowitz, Judy Park Lee, Zoe Voss Lee, Jasmine Liu, Tash Nikol, and Thandi Nyambose.
The views expressed here are those of the authors only and do not reflect the position of The Architectural League of New York.
Dispatches from the New City Critics fellows: new, fearless, and diverse voices to challenge the ways we understand, design, and build our cities.
