+ Expect another uptown expansion battle, this time involving the New York Historical Society. First neighborhood resident to intimate Paris? Journalist Bill Moyers.
+ Architects Billie Tsien and Tod Williams have been tapped for Lincoln Center’s Harmony Atrium. Say goodbye to the climbing wall.
+ The city is rezoning a 100-block area in the East Village, leading to an 80-foot height cap and more housing. A response to neighborhood newbies Blue and The Hotel on Rivington, maybe?
+ Is Pecha Kucha New York, an event begun in Tokyo, architecture’s answer to speed dating? Expect never-before-seen “illicit images.” Of rejected proposals, that is.
+ And, maxing out your credit cards can actually pay off. In the form of Roof Sex.
