The Center for Architecture has a free October 6 panel on Maciej Nowicki and Albert Mayer’s unbuilt Chandigarh plan, with shade, orientation and planting treated as the framework for ordinary life. Evangelos Kotsioris will discuss Aditya Prakash’s later “Linear City” alternative; Catherine Seavitt brings Roberto Burle Marx’s environmental advocacy for Brasília into the comparison. It is a concrete way into the newly opened Nowicki exhibition without needing an opening-night party. Tuesday, 5:30–7:30 p.m., 536 LaGuardia Place; registration is required, with no live seat count verified.
