Description

In this episode of Exquisite Corpse, architects Wendy Evans Joseph and Billie Tsien discuss the art-centered roots of their friendship and the experiential nature of architecture. They discuss what it means to alter or create an experience and how they practice patience with projects in the public realm. They touch on their various projects that alter how the public engages with an environment, such as Wendy’s back-of-house glass box for the Music Hall at Snug Harbor Cultural Center or Billie’s project for David Geffen Hall, at the Lincoln Center where her firm restructured the lobby to be more inviting and multifunctional. Both invested in community engagement, they share a mutual admiration for producing projects that deepen public connection.
