Exhibition | Archive and Artifact: The Virtual and the Physical
This exhibition celebrates the experimental and influential pedagogy of The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture by presenting undergraduate Thesis projects completed at the school over the last 50 years.
Curated from materials documented in the Student Work Collection of the School of Architecture Archive, the exhibition includes drawings, produced by hand and by computation, and models of 35 undergraduate Thesis projects completed between 1969 and 2018. These materials are complimented by a preview of the School of Architecture Archive's Digital Access Project, an online database of the Student Work Collection that expands the scope of the exhibition. Visitors will be able to access the database via computer terminals in the gallery. At this time, the database is comprised of over 500 Thesis projects completed between the 1960's through 2003, including nearly 8,500 digitized records.
Gallery Hours
Tuesday-Friday 2-7pm
Saturday and Sunday 12-7pm
This event is free and open to the public.

Current Work | Hiroshi Sugimoto: New Materials

In 2008, he founded design firm

Five Thousand Pound Life Conference | Ground Transportation and Climate Change
The Five Thousand Pound Life is the Architectural League of New York's ongoing initiative to rethink our collective future through design in the face of climate change. The current discourse surrounding mobility, the movement of goods, and cities is focused on convenience and mode rather than considering the production of greenhouse gases. This conference will look at radical changes happening in urban transportation through the lens of their potential climate change impacts.
This
conference is organized by The Architectural League of New York and co-sponsored by the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture. This project is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and Oldcastle Glass.
