Tales from the Crypt: Archived Material 1966–1996

The UIC School of Architecture is pleased to present Tales from the Crypt: Archived Material 1966–1996, a selection of disparate material deposited in the School of Architecture's archive over a thirty year period. Housed (until now) in the School's storage space on the first floor of the A+A Building, these varied materials—from syllabi and program posters to lecture recordings and party photos—reveal lost plots and forgotten stories, concerns at once dated and familiar. A found time capsule of fragments and miscellany, the material is assembled here as a first effort to codify, organize, reflect on, and make sense of the School of Architecture's history from what it, at one point, deemed worthy of saving.

Opening Reception

Wednesday, April 4, 6pm
