This year marks the taxi cab’s 100th Anniversary. To celebrate the joyous occasion, the Design Trust for Public Space asked the city’s top designers to do some “creative-reinventive” thinking about the taxi. The results will be exhibited at the Auto Show in April.

Can’t wait till Spring? Not to worry. This Thursday, at 6:30pm, Cooper-Hewitt will be hosting “Transforming an Icon,” a panel discussion focusing on how some of the these designers met the challenge. ($10 to get in).
