30 Architects Reenvision Manhattan in a Post-Sharing World

All images courtesy Storefront for Art and Architecture

The Storefront for Art & Architecture‘s ongoing exhibition, Sharing Models: Manhattanisms, imagines 30 alternative Manhattans, as envisioned by international architects including TEN Arquitectos, SO-IL, and Tatiana Bilbao. Stunning and diverse, the illustrations reveal how each of these architects is grappling with the question of the sharing economy and the technologies that support it—how they may change the way we inhabit and build cities in the future—while also beautifully representing his/her individual aesthetic.

The New York–based non-profit recently put up the drawings from the show for online auction, all proceeds of which will go to supporting continued Storefront programming. The auction ends Friday, September 2nd.
