Through an open call for submissions, faculty member Nina Ilieva was selected  to  present at the New Museum Idea’s city  at Storefront For Art and Architecture event. Eydmond Diegel from  Parsons was also invited to participate in the discussion. The 2013 iteration of IDEAS CITY, the biennial festival created to explore the future city and to effect change, took place in downtown New York from May 1-4, 2013.  The theme for IDEAS CITY 2013 was Untapped Capital.
Rather than focusing on deficits, IDEAS CITY 2013 encourages intensive examination of surplus resources that may be under-recognized or underutilized: Untapped Capital.  There are many ways of thinking about what might define “untapped capital,” ranging from people and raw materials, to ideas, networks, varied resources, and modes of communication. The topic of Untapped Capital provides a touchstone for alternative thinking about new methodologies, new solutions, and new goals.
