The Yale School of Architecture Books and Architecture seminar exhibited at the New York Art Book Fair at PS1/MoMA. This "project room" was organized around the display of five years of the project "256 Images that Matter to Architecture" which is the first exploration of book-making in the seminar. Compounded by the number of books, the result was 16,392 images altogether.
Together, these books formed an unintentional record of how the architectural community collectively defines what's significant to their field.
This image collection anchored the exhibition, alongside other explorations of how books shape architectural dialogue, displayed both as physical publications and video presentations.
OoLB curated and designed the project room. Its popularity at the fair was noted, along with engaging content the space also offered open seating and air-conditioning, both in high demand at the fair.
Support from Elise Jaffe + Jeffrey Brown and Robert A.M. Stern made this project possible.
