In highlighting the blending of traditional and innovative elements in the work of this celebrated Italian architect, the tour functions as a physical and metaphysical walk through the past and the future at once. To borrow from Piano himself in a fortunate phrase imbued with an Italo Calvino\u2013esque spirit: \u201cWhen they ask me how the city of the future will look like, I reply: \u2018Like that of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n This three-hour tour, led by AIA architect and tour leader Kyle Johnson, will include stops at three of the four sites designed by Piano in Manhattan:\u00a0Morgan Library Expansion<\/a>\u00a0(Midtown East),\u00a0New York Times Building\u00a0(Midtown West) (TBC),\u00a0new Whitney Museum\u00a0(West Village) \u2013 the new\u00a0Manhattanville campus in West Harlem is still at the early stages and will not be included.<\/p>\n Aperitif will follow.<\/p>\n <\/a>About Kyle Johnson<\/p>\n A graduate of Rice and Columbia Universities, Kyle Johnson worked as Senior Associate at Pei Cobb Freed & Partners \/ I.
