EXHIBITION NOW CLOSING DECEMBER 18

In celebration of the upcoming ten-year anniversary of the US General Services Administration Design Excellence Program, the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter is hosting its first national exhibition at the Center for Architecture. The exhibition features twenty federal projects from around the country. It explores how GSA’s Design Excellence Program has redefined the architect and artist selection and building design and construction processes. These improvements have greatly expanded the architectural opportunities for federal office buildings, judicial facilities, and border stations and chart the course for the design of public buildings around the nation. A series of accompanying public programs and workshops will educate practitioners and the public about the Design Excellence Program. The evening events feature architects and artists discussing current projects on view, detailing goals and issues involved in designing federal projects. The morning workshops bring GSA officials and national peers together to describe in detail how architects, artists, engineers, landscape architects, contractors and consultants participate in the various activities of the Design Excellence Program.
