Gang of New York
Chicago-based Studio Gang has released new renderings of its Solar Carve Tower, which will be built along New York’s High Line. Through the design, the firm is “commenting on the primary importance of public space, even when that space is mid-block and not protected by typical set-back zoning,” said firm principal Jeanne Gang.

Moon Shot
Elon Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX, plans to send two tourists around the moon before the end of 2018. “I find it extraordinary that these sorts of announcements are being made when SpaceX has yet to get crew from the ground to low-Earth orbit,” said Mary Lynne Dittmar, executive director of the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration. “Dates are not SpaceX’s strong suit.”

Haramis Joins Interview
Nick Haramis is leaving his post at T: The New York Times Style Magazine to join Interview as the publication’s new editor-in-chief. Haramis reflected on how Interview had inspired him in his youth: “I didn’t have much access to anything New York-related or anything that felt edgy or underground when it came to arts and culture. I learned a lot about that world, and dreamed of being a part of it, through the magazines that I read. And Interview was a bible of sorts.”
