November 8 - January 26, 2008 Berlin - New York Dialogues: Building in ContextGalleries: Judith and Walter Hunt Gallery, Mezzanine Gallery, Kohn Pedersen Fox Gallery, HLW Gallery, South Gallery
Two of the world’s most dynamic urban centers, Berlin and New York, are making radical transformations in their streets and skylines. Berlin - New York Dialogues investigates the changes in these two cities by looking at the contemporary built environment and mechanisms of urban regeneration – the social, political, economic, and cultural processes that affect building.
Against a background of data Berlin – New York Dialogues brackets three areas of each city. High-end projects and informal initiatives are featured and made comparable by a set of overarching topics: Culture as Catalyst, Community Activism, Gentrification, Open Space, and Governmental Intervention. Focus is given to the stories and forces behind the projects – the urban context. Berlin - New York Dialogues is presented in partnership with Carnegie Hall as part of Berlin in Lights, a festival taking place November 2-18, 2007. This exhibition is presented as part of the Center for Architecture’s Global City Dialogues series exploring differences and commonalities between distinctive international cultural centers and New York City. Organized by: Center for Architecture and the German Center for Architecture DAZ in Berlin Curatorial Team: Lynnette Widder, Kristien Ring, Sophie Stigliano, Rosamond Fletcher, Lutz Knospe Research Assistants: Anthony Acciavatti, Elizabeth Snow, Anna Vallye In cooperation with: Pratt Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, Deutsches Haus at NYU, and Akademie der Künste, Berlin Exhibition Design & Graphics: Project Projects Exhibition Architecture: MADE Commissioned Photography: Noah Sheldon

September 19 — January 5, 2008 Architecture Inside/OutGalleries: Gerald D Hines Gallery, Street Gallery, Public Resource Center Architecture Inside/Out demonstrates the unfolding of space by exposing architectural interiors through a range of typologies with an inward focus, including libraries, hotels, retail and work spaces. This exhibition challenges conventional categories and explores alternative typologies. The design of interiors has evolved into a complex and nuanced problem and addresses circulation patterns, use and adjacencies, sociologies of hierarchy and networks, and sustainability. The fully integrated interior considers light, color and materiality, but also new ways of programming space, the latest technological advances, innovative methods of construction and green practices.Traditional representations such as section, plan and elevation, in addition to models and details will provide a lens to reveal inherent characteristics of featured interiors, exposing materials, structure and spatial relationships. Architecture Inside/Out takes the familiar architectural conventions and places them parallel to alternative ways of seeing and revealing. When these alternative methods of understanding space are applied to typologies, they provide views of the interior that shed new light on familiar places. Curator:

March 22 — July 7, 2007 Making Housing HomePhotographs with residents of New York City housing developments Galleries: Library This photographic exhibition explores how people inhabit housing to create homes in two of New York City's affordable housing developments, each of which were developed to provide good homes for all. Because units of housing are in essence homes for families, this project takes an interior look at what architecture can allow and support, to afford the crucial process of making space for oneself within designed spaces and housing markets. If social housing reflects the social covenant of our society, what is it to which every citizen is entitled? What does it take for a life to flourish and can a building help or hinder this process? What becomes of designed spaces once they are inhabited?

January 15 - March 24, 2007 School Buildings – The State of AffairsGalleries: Kohn Pedersen Fox Gallery, HLW Gallery, South Gallery Today's educators require flexible spaces that can satisfy multiple functions and future demands and they are in need of spaces that enhance modern teaching as well as a student's personal development. Communities request to share facilities and services, and changing social patterns require new services at schools. In response, architects design schools that feel, look and function differently, having become learning and community centers. It's a new architecture for a new education. This exhibition illustrates this process and the schools that have been built in the course of it. It contains 31 examples of recently built or designed schools from Zurich Switzerland along with examples from Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Austria. It facilitates a dialog among educators, architects, and the community, strikingly similar to the efforts than have been made in New York over the past few years. It will make for an interesting and fruitful dialog. Click here to see a complete list of all schools showcased in the exhibition.

September 11–December 16, 2006 5 Years Later…Gallery: Gerald D. Hines Gallery Five years have passed since the destruction of the World Trade Center changed New York City and the perception that our iconic buildings are permanent. To mark this anniversary, the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter and New York New Visions present a photographic and multi-media installation that explores the complexity of remembrance and reconstruction. Photographs by Joel Meyerowitz taken right after the dust had cleared depict Ground Zero with power and poignancy. Current footage from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation's live webcam show the site as it is now, and the construction activity relating to projects underway. Also on display is an enlarged photograph of the slurry wall, the last remaining piece of the original World Trade Center structure. Accompanying these photographs is a random mosaic of news clippings documenting the rebuilding process. Collectively, the published accounts represent the broad range of opinions and reflect the depth of emotion about the reconstruction process.

Through his collaborations with Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, and Eero Saarinen, Kelly established a modern architectural lighting vocabulary. His approach has helped to define many of architecture's 20th-century icons including the Seagram Building in New York and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The exhibition is a site-specific presentation of a traveling exhibition originally curated by Renee Cooley and Matthew Tanteri with support from the IESNY.
