What Has Architecture Done For You Lately?
Innovative architecture organization Architext has been conducting a series of charettes around the world that bring local leaders together with local students to brainstorm answers to the question “What has architecture done for you lately?” using both words and images.
An exhibition based on this project — “A conceptual art exploration of the intersection of architecture with economics, health, environment, emotion, and equality” — will be on display at the Design Exchange starting on Wednesday April 15 and going to May 31.
Find our more about the project on the Architext website.
