Bergamot Station, Hidden Artifacts 2015, Gallery Participant, Nomination

A six week art show celebrating a forgotten body of work: the studies, the experiments, the models, and the personal art of architects. The exhibited work highlight architects as much more than just facilitators of buildings and permits, illustrated through breathtakingly beautiful conceptualizations of complex ideas, NOT pictures and drawings of buildings.

We will pull back the curtain on the rigorous creative process of architectural students and professionals alike, to reveal their value as thinkers and problem solvers, and rebuild the bridge between the profession and the general public. In this spirit, the gallery will also be hosting a lecture and class series during the exhibit, with appeal to both architects and the general public.
