Dynamischer Raumplan is a spatial installation<br />

based on the city as a dynamic and complex<br />

adaptive system. It displays the creation and<br />

use of energy as a critical parameter for urban<br />

planning of the 21st century and as a catalyst<br />

for a new city morphology. The installation<br />

can be read in several scales: a city block, a<br />

city district, or an urban region. At SCI-Arc.<br />

New Territories: Laboratories for Design,<br />

Craft and Art in Latin America<br />

New York City<br />

Through April 5, <strong>2015</strong><br />

This exhibition examines the confluence of<br />

art, design, and craft in several cities throughout<br />

Latin America, where some of the most<br />

pertinent new directions are emerging.<br />

New Territories explores the collaborations<br />

between small manufacturing operations and<br />

craftspersons, artists, and designers, and demonstrates<br />

how the resulting work addresses<br />

not only the issues of commodification and<br />

production, but also of urbanization, displacement,<br />

and sustainability. The exhibition<br />

explores a number of key themes, including<br />

the dialogue between contemporary trends<br />

and artistic legacies in Latin American art; the<br />

use of repurposed materials; the blending of<br />

digital and traditional skills; and the<br />

reclamation of personal and public space.<br />

At the Museum of Arts and Design. For<br />

Ways to Modernism: Josef Hoffmann,<br />

Adolf Loos, and Their Impact<br />

Vienna<br />

Through April 19, <strong>2015</strong><br />

With Ways to Modernism: Josef Hoffmann,<br />

Adolf Loos, and Their Impact, at the Museum<br />

for the Applied Arts, legendary works of Josef<br />

Hoffmann and Adolf Loos offer a portrayal<br />

of the development of Viennese modernism<br />

into a global brand. The two designers worked<br />

out contrary alternatives for modernity in<br />

art, architecture, and design; their work is<br />

shown in tandem, allowing viewers to make<br />

comparisons between their approaches.<br />

Ways to Modernism focuses not only on the<br />

thinking and key works of these two visionaries,<br />

but also the historical background of<br />

their ideas, and the continued resonance of<br />

their work in architecture and design. In<br />

addition to the late œuvres of Hoffmann and<br />

Loos, the exhibition features works by Oskar<br />

Strnad, Josef Frank, Margarete Schütte-<br />

Lihotzky, Atelier Singer-Dicker, and Anna<br />

Heringer. For more information, visit mak.at.<br />

One Way: Peter Marino<br />

Miami Beach, Florida<br />

Through May 3, <strong>2015</strong><br />

American architect Peter Marino has been<br />

celebrated over the past four decades for his<br />

forward-thinking work, which exists at the<br />

intersection of art, fashion, and architectural<br />

design. Curated by Jérôme Sans, this exhibition,<br />

at the Bass Museum of Art, explores the<br />

interplay between Marino’s iconic architectural<br />

designs and his personal collection of<br />

contemporary art, which includes pieces by<br />

Loris Gréaud, Keith Haring, Richard Serra,<br />

Rudolf Stingel, and Andy Warhol. A handful<br />

of artists, Gregor Hildebrandt and Erwin<br />

Wurm among them, will also present new<br />

work commissioned for the exhibition. For<br />

Los Angeles<br />

Through May 3, <strong>2015</strong><br />

Through the work of a select group of architectural,<br />

fine art, and news photographers,<br />

Sink or Swim casts an eye on both the problem<br />

of climate change in densely populated coastal<br />

regions and contemporary design as a means<br />

to navigate the changing landscapes. It explores<br />

the story of resilience, from adaptation<br />

for human survival to ambitious infrastruc-<br />
