From the 44th floor of the Hearst Tower, the exclusive site of the LongHouse Reserve gala, Manhattan looked like a futuristic city. It’s hard edge beauty served as a contrast to LongHouse’ iconic gardens. We could envision drone-like taxis ferrying us from glass tower to tower. How appropriate to be honoring two architects – James Carpenter and Toshiko Mori – that evening.
