Introduction:

Welcome to the website dedicated to the planning and coordination of the CoA Faculty Exhibition at Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts maintained by the Faculty Exhibition Task Force.

This is a great opportunity to showcase the creative energy of the college and to convey the processes of architectural design to the community. We appreciate your participation and support in this endeavor. All the on-going communications regarding the exhibition will be posted on this website in blog format. Please subscribe to the RSS feed and check in as required to stay current with the progress.

The Faculty Exhibition Task Force was formed as a result of the joint meeting between the CoA Exhibition committee and the Lecture committee at the end of January this year In response to the call for exhibition proposal by LHUCA. Based on the discussion at the joint committee meeting the Task Force formed the core concept for the exhibition. The proposal was submitted to LHUCA in early March and was recently approved.

Exhibition Concept:

We anticipate a wide range of faculty work. In order to maintain cohesiveness in the exhibition we have planned (3) sequential shows in the span of two and a half months, each with a basic theme pertaining to the process of architectural design and construction. The first show will deal with the theme "Measuring," the second "Drawing," and the third "Making." The exhibitions will be accompanied by a catalogue and lecture series. The opening of each exhibition is marked by the "First Friday Art Tour (FFAT)."

Exhibits:

Process oriented visual examples or evidence stemming from the faculty’s research and creative activities are encouraged. Temporary installation(s) specifically designed for the exhibition are also welcome. Student work demonstrating connections to faculty’s research are accepted.
