When two industry leaders as reputable as New York’s A&D Building, and dwell Magazine partner together for an event, you can bet that it will be a good one. The location, did we mention that the A&D Building is the second largest kitchen and bath center in the US, was just right and the Dwell presenters: Michela O’Connor Abrams, Michael Cannell, Michael Sylvester, Chelsea Holden Baker and Joel Turkel certainly know their stuff. Topics ranged from contemporary design trends to the virtual design world. Michael Sylvester, Dwell Content Strategist & Publisher of fabprefab.com, led a spirited seminar on modern prefab. He ended with some bullet-points on the myths and realities of this method and then opened the floor to Q&A. Attendees felt so strongly on the issue, one guest raised the topic of the Katrina aftermath and a full-fledged audience debate broke out.

We’ll be back at the building next Thursday (Nov 1.) for the Taste of T.
