On Friday, October 15 at 7 PM, at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, artist and author Justin Beal and muralist and children’s book author Katie Yamasaki will discuss the life and work of the latter’s grandfather, Minoru Yamasaki (1912–1986), the architect of the World Trade Center.
The talk will delve into topics from Beal’s new book, “Sandfuture” (MIT Press, September 2021), including Yamasaki’s enormous influence on American architecture and society, the figure of the architect in literature and film, and social and political implications of how — and for whom — cities are built.
Advance ticket purchase with pre-event registration is required. The talk will also be livestreamed. Visit parrishart.org.
