The trouble with most architecture exhibitions is that, unlike shows on other, readily transportable art forms, it's almost impossible to display actual examples of this immovable medium within a conventional gallery context. Models, photographs, videos, drawings, plans, and even mock-ups of architectural details can only approximate the real thing. A refreshing exception to the museological problem of conveying the essence of architecture is SANAA: Works 1998-2008, now on view at New York's New Museum of Contemporary Art through June 15.
