MAKE IT WORK. Engineering Possibilities
Today’s engineers are working across disciplines and driving innovation. MAKE IT WORK. Engineering Possibilities looks at how engineers are envisioning and realizing the future of our built environment by transforming structures, improving environments, enhancing materials, re-inventing building technologies, and advancing forms. This exhibition highlights how inventive strategies for building are born from multidisciplinary research and integrated practice. Small engineering firms, large engineering firms, engineering schools, university labs, materials labs, artists, inventors, and architects are all part of the exchange of ideas — plotting trajectories of innovation.
Building on observations, analysis, and mathematical principles, engineers have developed the profession from empirical analysis into a field of expertise based on predictability and synthesis. With digital simulation and processing capabilities, engineers are utilizing comprehensive models to explore different options for optimizing structures and systems.
Twenty-first century engineers are tackling some of the most challenging concerns of our day. Exceeding LEED standards for sustainable building, engineers are conceiving of new ways for buildings to harvest and manage energy — floors that create electricity and facade systems that respond to the sun. Anticipating dwindling global resources, engineers are designing structures to new standards of efficiency and economy — stadiums that use 50% less steel and towers formed for optimal wind-loading.
These solutions are the product of creative and collaborative pursuit.

Scott Peterman: Cities
Photographs from Scott Peterman’s Cities series, documenting the dense urban conditions of Sao Paulo, New York, and Cairo, will be on view at the Center for Architecture through April 8.
Scott Peterman is an internationally recognized photographer; in 2006, his photographs were displayed at the 10th International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, and in 2007, he took part in the Global Cities exhibition at the Tate Modern in London.
Mr. Peterman was born in Philadelphia in 1968. He received his Masters of Fine Arts in Photography from Yale University in 1998. Over the last decade, his photography has been exhibited in both solo and group shows all across the country. In New York City he has had five solo shows, including exhibits at Daniel Silverstein Gallery and Higher Pictures. He has been featured at the Portland Museum of Art, most recently at its 2007 Biennial and Urban Scene exhibitions.

Public Receptors.
Gabi Schillig, courtesy Van Alen Institute
This textile installation is by New York Prize Fellow Gabi Schillig, a Berlin-based conceptual artist and architect. The wearable spatial structures mediate between private users and public spaces, provoking new relationships between bodies, clothing, and the built environment. Redefining the garment as tactile architecture, Schillig explores the potential for soft geometries and surface textiles, conventionally associated with individual bodies and human scale, to generate alternative arrangements of social space and modes of interaction in the urban fabric.

This exhibition explores the varied new uses of felt — a material believed to be one of the earliest techniques for making textiles, made by matting together wool fibers with humidity and friction. Beginning with historic examples of felts, contemporary uses of industrial felt in a range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture, and home furnishings are on view.

Helfand Spotlight Series: OMA NY’s 23 East 22nd Street Tower
The Center for Architecture is premiering its Helfand Spotlight Series in the newly renovated storefront Margaret Helfand Gallery. The first project selected for this honor is OMA’s tower at 23 East 22nd Street. The 22nd Street tower is significant both because it is OMA’s first large-scale building in New York City and because of its unique profile. Intended to literally turn the tradition of the stepped tower on its head, the 22nd Street tower will cant dramatically over its neighbors. The 23E22 exhibition includes an illuminated building model, a site model, 100 process models, details, and a comprehensive project description.
The Helfand Spotlight Series highlights competitions, projects under construction, and projects recently completed that will have a far-reaching impact on New York City’s built environment. Projects are exhibited as a means of generating public interest as well as presenting in-depth information to the Center’s professional audience.
Exhibition and related programs are made possible through the generous support of Slazer Enterprises.

A visionary feat of 19th century city planning, the Grand Concourse flows through the Bronx from Van Cortland Park at the top to East 138th Street at the south. Inspired by the Champs Élysées in Paris and designed by Alsatian-born engineer Louis Risse, the famous thoroughfare was originally conceived in 1870 as a means of connecting the working class of Manhattan to the green parks of the north Bronx. One hundred years after its opening, The Bronx Museum of the Arts examines the past, present, and future of the Grand Concourse in a year-long, three-part centennial celebration. The three exhibitions comprising Intersections are: Intersections: The Grand Concourse at 100 (03.05.9 – 07.20.09); Intersections: The Grand Concourse Commissions (08.02.09 – 01.04.10); and Intersections: The Grand Concourse Beyond 100 (10.1.09 – 01.04.10).

The first U.S. exhibition of Urban China magazine, the only magazine devoted to issues of urbanism published in China, includes a built environment of reclaimed construction materials; a massive wall graphic combining photographs, found images, numerical data, and maps; a Flash-based, user-navigable database of photographs; and a selected collection of past issues of Urban China magazine. Together, these elements fill the lobby gallery, exploding the magazine’s radical worldview off its pages and into the physical space of the museum. The wall graphic and related objects examine how informal systems — spatial, economic, and utilitarian — act to subvert the controlled nature of urban spaces in China.

Situation Room is a playground for [re] creation, collective action, active occupation, open demonstration, and social games. It is meant to be a space for intuitive, interactive, and collective performance. Members of Exyzt will inhabit the gallery space, making use of the furnishings as though it were a domestic space and inviting the audience to reconsider occupied areas in a well-defined timeframe.

This is an exhibition of eight paintings in oil and acrylic by Sarah McKenzie, who paints buildings in various states of construction, referencing geometric abstraction and 20th-century Modernism. She applies paint to the canvas in ways that often break the unity of the image. Her process parallels construction and her surfaces encourage the viewer to compare the structure of the paintings with the frames of the buildings she is painting.

The Noguchi Museum presents Isamu Noguchi’s Akari Light Sculptures, focusing on the examples featured in the American Pavilion at the 1986 Venice Biennale. This display comprises eight Akari from that exhibition, along with some 20 additional designs not shown in Venice. A highlight of the exhibition is a group of unique and rarely seen Akari Light Sculptures that Noguchi created especially for the Biennale — the last the artist would make. These include the VB4 model, which is a large, “floating” pyramidal paper shade that is suspended from a cord and has been tethered to the ground by stones covered in handmade paper.
