Beaux Arts Ball 2024: HEAT
20 September، 2024 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm
The Beaux Arts Ball 2024, themed “HEAT,” emphasizes the urgent transformation needed in the built environment to foster a more equitable and compassionate planetary coexistence. This year’s theme explores the intersection of climate change and architecture, reflecting on the impact of HEAT on spatial justice.
Event Theme and Concept
HEAT represents the growing pressures of climate change and its effects on architectural practices. The event invites participants to envision future possibilities for the built environment, addressing the challenges posed by structures of power rooted in extractivism, carbonization, anthropocentrism, and technocracy.
Venue and Installation
This year’s Beaux Arts Ball will take place in the Turbine Hall of Powerhouse Arts (PHA), a historic site formerly known as the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station. Completed in 1904, this venue was originally built to support the borough’s transit system. In keeping with PHA’s mission and the League’s commitment to creative arts and design, the space will feature an original installation by Brooklyn-based artist Olalekan Jeyifous, reflecting the theme of HEAT.
