In parallel to his role at SCI-Arc, Diaz Alonso is principal of the Los Angeles–based architecture office HDA-x (formerly Xefirotarch).

Over the course of his career as an architect and educator, Diaz Alonso has earned accolades for his leadership and innovation, as well as his ability to build partnerships among varied constituencies. In 2005 he was the winner of MoMA PS1’s Young Architects Program (YAP) competition, and in 2012 he received the Educator of the Year award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA). He won the 2013 AR+D Award for Emerging Architecture and a 2013 Progressive Architecture Award for his design of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Pavilion/Museum in Patagonia, Argentina.

DIGITAL EXHIBITION
Postcards from Under New York
Wednesday, April 8 through Sunday, May 17
Web Based
This digital exhibition—adapted from a 2010 hallway exhibition curated by Barb Choit—presents images from the
Joseph Covino Postcard Collection
supplemented by historical maps and photographs. Dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century, the Collection is among the largest of its kind. Its nearly 3,800 postcards were donated to the
Architecture Archive
between 1999 and 2003 by Joseph Covino, an avid postcard collector. Most of the postcards document New York City’s built environment and infrastructure, including many no-longer-extant buildings, interiors, businesses, and public spaces. They record a city in constant flux, capturing several decades of urban development across all five boroughs, from the City’s piers, airports, subways, and armories to its public parks, aquariums, monuments, and libraries.
