We are based in Seattle, WA.
Organized by a handful of volunteers and registered as a not-for-profit organization, Space.City is an independent architectural group.
Our focus and purpose is to inspirit a dialogue among architects, artists, and others involved in the culture of our city.
As an information hub for Seattle's architectural community and to keep our community active, Space.City maintains an email list to communicate local arts and architecture events. By this network we support Seattle's other architectural groups and design organizations -- A:BC (Action Better City), AIA and AIGA, Cornish, DocoMomo, Henry Gallery and other museums, Suyama Space and other alternative galleries, Seattle Architecture Foundation, and UW School of Architecture. We welcome new members and encourage involvement. Subscription is free. Join us.

Gluckman Mayner Architects, located in New York City, is the successor firm to Richard Gluckman Architects, established in 1977. Led by principals Richard Gluckman, FAIA and David Mayner, the office has designed a wide range of institutional, commercial, and residential projects throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. A major component of the firm's practice has been the design of art-related facilities, and much of the firm's work has grown out of an exchange with artists, curators and museum directors.
Gluckman Mayner Architects has established a distinguished reputation for its rigorous approach to design and construction. Notable projects include the Dia Center for the Arts (1987), New York, NY; The Andy Warhol Museum (1994), Pittsburgh, PA; the renovation of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1995-1998), New York, NY; The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (1997) and Study Center (2001), Santa Fe, NM; the Mori Art Center (2003), Tokyo, Japan; and a 160,000-square-foot facility for the Philadelphia Museum of Art (opened September 2007). Gluckman Mayner Architects was selected in 2007 as design architects for the renovation and expansion of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (Smithsonian Institution), and was retained to design the new, 100,000-square-foot Contemporary Art Museum of the Presidio in San Francisco.
Richard Gluckman, FAIA, received his Bachelor of Architecture ('70) and Master of Architecture ('71) from Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York.
In addition to his international practice, Richard Gluckman has been a visiting critic at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, Syracuse University and Parsons School of Design. He has sat on numerous academic and professional juries and has served as a Peer Reviewer for the General Services Administration. In 2005, Richard Gluckman was presented with a National Design Award from the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum.
