Big money and anodyne architecture are poised to take over South Ozone Park’s legendary Aqueduct Racetrack.
With his lease as his leash, caged in this giant city-cum-dog park, our columnist roams the streets as a stray, guided by unseemly scents.

Reviews
The buildings’ stories, not just their architectural qualities, are the focus of the exhibition.
American Framing: The Same Something for Everyone by Paul Andersen, Jayne Kelley, and Paul Preissner (eds.). Park Books, 252 pp., $40.
American Framing is overly eager to claim new ground for something that is surely unsustainable in the long term.

The sixty-first New York Film Festival.
“Trying hard to be the New York Film Festival—not the Lincoln Center or Upper West Side Film Festival.”
How To with John Wilson, written and produced by John Wilson, ended its three-season run in July.
The people and things that John Wilson assembles in his beguiling anthology remain unassimilable in their bizarre singularity.
How to Live with Objects by Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer. Clarkson Potter, 318 pp., $60.
Therapy-speak for those bitten by the shopping bug.
The latest iteration of the Chicago Architecture Biennial is not a place, it’s a direction. Who knows where it’s going?
Times Square Remade: The Dynamics of Urban Change by Lynne B. Sagalyn. MIT Press, 440 pp., $40.
How did a seemingly incorrigible part of New York, which countless mayors had promised, but failed, to clean up, change so drastically?
Terrace Story: A Novel by Hilary Leichter. HarperCollins, 208 pp., $28.
A tale where there’s never enough room, where nothing but the essential lasts, where there aren’t morals so much as morality.
The dissident architect László Rajk activated the vast possibilities of the present by invoking collective memory.
Flowcharting: From Abstractionism to Algorithmics in Art and Architecture by Matthew Allen. Gta Verlag, 140 pp., $26.
What is at stake in Flowcharting is the role that computation might play in a project for a “progressive” architecture.
Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism, curated by Carson Chan with Matthew Wagstaffe, Dewi Tan, and Eva Lavranou, is on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, until January 20, 2024.
For the most part, Emerging Ecologies occupies a mundane topography of composting toilets, upcycled materials, bioshelters, and geodesic domes.
Within so much physical unobtrusion and almost self-negating structures, you’ve got to supply your own atmospheric narrative.
