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.
