SUMMARY:FRAMES: Construction History in New York and Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The second session of the Construction History series concentrates on Frames and the evolution of metal-cage construction in each city.  Chicago has claimed the “invention” of steel-skeleton construction\, which historians often call “the Chicago frame.” In New York\, building codes and concerns about fire discouraged the use of skeleton frames until after 1892\, so alternative\, hybrid systems developed. Tom Leslie and Don Friedman will examine these and other issues. Chicago and New York offered a handful of very different preconditions that influenced the way skyscrapers were designed and built in the two cities. Chicago’s murky soil forced engineers to carefully parse their structures into point supports and broad\, snowshoe-like pads\, which suggested structures above could be thought of as more skeletal frames than continuous walls. The city’s large\, regular lot sizes also allowed a regularity in structural grids\, and its laissez-faire politics permitted thinner walls than other\, eastern cities—at least through 1893\, after which unions and builders began a pitched battle over the city’s building code.

SUMMARY:April Women’s Breakfast: In Conversation with Kathryn Garcia
DESCRIPTION:2020 and 2021 were big years for women in U.S. politics\, with more women running for national and local office than ever before. Here in New York\, we had a contentious mayoral election with multiple women candidates leading on the ballot\, and we finally got our first woman governor.  So what’s it like to be a trailblazer for women in politics? What does it take to succeed? And how can more women follow that trail? \nAt LM Live’s April Women’s Breakfast\, Director of State Operations and Infrastructure for the state of New York Kathryn Garcia will join Downtown Alliance President Jessica Lappin for an intimate conversation about what it takes to be a woman in politics. The conversation will focus on the challenges Kathryn has faced and the lessons she has learned throughout her accomplished career in city and state government: from blazing a trail as the Commissioner of the NYC Department of Sanitation\, to serving over a million meals per day as the Covid-19 Food Czar\, to running a mayoral campaign and\, now\, keeping the lights on for the entire state. Jessica and Kathryn will dig into what it takes to lead in male-dominated industries and under the scrutiny of the public eye. There will also be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions. \nThis in-person breakfast is a great opportunity to network with women and non-binary folks\, as well as their champions and allies. Light refreshments will be served. \n  \nKathryn Garcia serves as Director of State Operations and Infrastructure for Governor Kathy Hochul\, where she oversees over 70 state agencies and authorities\, including the MTA and Port Authority. She has over 14 years of government experience delivering services that New Yorkers rely on every day. Previously\, she served as the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Sanitation\, leading its 9\,700 uniformed and civilian employees through nearly 15 feet of snow\, expanded environmental programs from e-waste collection to the largest curbside organics program\, and implemented innovative technology solutions to manage both its personnel and fleet. In addition to her duties at the Department of Sanitation\, she served as the City’s Lead Czar\, developing a plan to eliminate childhood elevated blood lead levels\, and during the winter of 2019\, she also stepped in as the interim Chair of the New York City Housing Authority. During the pandemic\, Kathryn Garcia served as the COVID-19 Food Czar\, delivering over 1 million meals a day to hungry New Yorkers. Before serving at the Department of Sanitation as Commissioner\, she served as Chief Operating Officer at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection\, where she was responsible for the operation of the City’s water supply\, water and sewer system\, wastewater treatment plants\, and served as Incident Commander during Hurricane Sandy. She earned her B.A. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \n  \nJessica Lappin is the President of the Alliance for Downtown New York. The organization manages New York City’s and the country’s largest Business Improvement District (BID) and works to ensure that Lower Manhattan is a thriving and dynamic community. A lifelong New Yorker\, former elected official\, and previous Crain’s “40 Under 40” honoree\, Ms. Lappin has a distinguished record in civic life and public service. \nLappin took the helm of the Alliance in February 2014. She is responsible for providing core sanitation and public safety services that keep the area clean and safe\, manages a free bus service\, and has made outreach to the street homeless in the area a priority.  She has also significantly expanded the free public WiFi network in Lower Manhattan\, produced award winning ads and marketing videos\, instituted a district-wide solar-powered recycling program\, and helped secure nearly $100 million in resiliency funding for Lower Manhattan.  \nPrior to her tenure at the Alliance\, Lappin was elected to serve two terms in the New York City Council\, representing the Upper East Side\, East Midtown\, and Roosevelt Island\, and was praised by the New York Times for her “steely resolve\, dedication\, and energy.” She served as Chair of the Committee on Aging and fought successfully to keep 100 senior centers from closing and to secure funding for meals and other critical senior services.  She also played a key role in bringing the Cornell Technion Applied Science and Engineering Campus to Roosevelt Island\, oversaw the approval of over 20\,000 new public school seats citywide\, and spearheaded the successful development of four new waterfront parks. And\, as Co-Chair of the Women’s Caucus\, she authored a nationally recognized\, landmark bill to protect women’s health and reproductive rights. \nThe Aspen Institute\, a renowned international think tank\, selected her as a Rodel Fellow in 2011. The Rodel program is focused on transcending political partisanship and addressing overarching questions of leadership and effective governance. \nShe serves on the Steering Committee of the Association for a Better New York (ABNY)\, the Executive Committee of NYC & Company and the boards of the International Downtown Association\, FDR Memorial and Four Freedoms Park\, Battery Conservancy\, American Skin Association\, and as an Ex-Officio member of New York City Center. \nLappin loves to run and cook and lives in Manhattan with her husband and two sons. She graduated from Georgetown University\, Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude\, and from Stuyvesant High School.

SUMMARY:From Chengdu: Stories of the Legendary Zhuge Liang
DESCRIPTION:A legendary historical figure in the Three Kingdom period (220-280)\, Zhuge Liang (181-234) is recognized as the most accomplished and admired military strategist of his era\, first as the chancellor to Emperor Liu Bei of the state of Shu and later as the regent of the Kingdom. As a recognition of his contributions to Shu\, Zhuge Liang was granted by the emperor the title of “Wuxiang Hou” (Marquis Wuxiang) in his lifetime. After his death\, a memorial temple by the name of Wuhou Shrine was built in the city of Chengdu\, the capital of Shu\, to honor him. The shrine is one of Chengdu’s major attractions and houses numerous statues to Emperor Liu Bei\, Zhuge Liang and other generals and officials of the Shu Kingdom. The Wuhou Shrine was turned into a full-scale museum in 1984\, serving as a major Three Kingdom heritage site and research center. On March 26\, the Renwen Society presents a lecture by Mr. Li Zhi\, Chief Docent of the Wuhou Shrine Museum\, who will relate to the audience stories of Zhuge Liang and the famed shrine. In his capacity as the Chief Docent of the museum\, Mr. Li has received many awards and appeared on many feature programs on TV. In 2020\, he was named one of “The Top Ten Narrators of National Treasures of China”. Mr. Li will be delivering the lecture from within the Wuhou Shrine Museum.

The first session of the Construction History series focuses on Foundations to consider a “ground up” understanding about how buildings were constructed in each city\, given the local conditions. Although Manhattan had abundant bedrock\, even some of the tallest 19th-century skyscrapers did not rely on it. Small lots and slender towers were common conditions in the dense financial district\, whereas Chicago’s big blocks and soft soil posed different problems.

SUMMARY:The Bond King by Mary Childs
DESCRIPTION:Book launch.From the host of NPR’s Planet Money\, the deeply-investigated story of how one visionary\, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King\, he was a gambler. In 1966\, a fresh college grad\, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. $10\,000 and countless casino bans later\, he was hooked: so he enrolled in business school. The Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers\, and enemies\, along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing.

SUMMARY:Seeing China Through Film: An Elephant Sitting Still
DESCRIPTION:Watch the film at home\, then enjoy a free virtual talkback with Columbia University Film Professor Richard Peña\, former Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Sure to be remembered as a landmark in Chinese cinema\, this intensely felt epic marks a career cut tragically short: its debut director Hu Bo took his life in October 2017\, at the age of 29. The protagonist of this modern reworking of the tale of Jason and the Argonauts is teenage Wei Bu\, who critically injures a school bully by accident. Over a single\, eventful day\, he crosses paths with a classmate\, an elderly neighbor\, and the bully’s older brother\, all of them bearing their own individual burdens\, and all drawn as if by gravity to the city of Manzhouli\, where a mythical elephant is said to sit\, indifferent to a cruel world. Full of moody close-ups and virtuosic tracking shots\, An Elephant Sitting Still is nothing short of a masterpiece.

SUMMARY:Genius & Anxiety: How Jews Changed The World
DESCRIPTION:In the century between 1847 and 1947\, a handful of men and women changed the world. Many of them are well known—Marx\, Freud\, Proust\, Einstein\, Kafka. Others have vanished from collective memory despite their enduring importance in our daily lives. Without Rosalind Franklin\, for example\, genetic science would look very different. Without Fritz Haber\, there would not be enough food to sustain life on earth. What do these visionaries have in common? They all had Jewish origins. Norman Lebrecht has devoted half of his life to researching the mindset of the Jewish intellectuals\, writers\, scientists\, and thinkers who turned the tides of history and shaped the world today as we know it. His conclusions are featured in his book Genius & Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World\, 1847-1947. Join the Museum for a conversation between Lebrecht and Museum Trustee Matthew Goldstein\, former chancellor of the City University of New York\, about Genius & Anxiety. Read the book ahead of time and submit your questions for the program’s Q&A session to pubprog@mjhnyc.org.

SUMMARY:Dao De Jing by Laozi: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Written by the Chinese sage Lao Zi around 400 BC\, Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) is the most important scripture in Chinese culture.

According to UNESCO\, Dao De Jing is the most circulated book in human history next to the Bible. As such\, it has produced a profound effect worldwide through the millenniums. The Renwen Society presents a lecture on the classic on March 12 by Prof. Alan Du\, a renowned Dao De Jing scholar who recently published an English translation of the book.
