Yesterday it was my distinct pleasure to be a respondent at the "Sustainable Cities Urban Design Conference" which was held at the UN. It was my first visit to the august institution and I have to admit to feeling like a kid from the provinces as I entered the modernist landmark. I'm writing this late Wednesday night having just arrived back from New York. I have another conference on high-rise building to attend in the morning and am moderating the Toronto Society of Architects discussion at 7:30 Thursday night (see Sunday's posting). I'm tired and any review of the UN experience will have to wait until the weekend. I will, however, leave Reading Toronto visitors with a few images from the UN.
