This exhibition features newly completed projects by Doug Jackson, Wes Jones, Aryan Omar, Steven Purvis, and Randolph Ruiz—five architects and designers who have each produced widely publicized and celebrated work renowned for its emphasis on the expressive and transformative potential of technology. Collectively this group represents a vision that is both unique and uniquely consistent within the discipline of architecture, but one that is also rich and nuanced, informed by a broad range of experience and expertise:

The work of these five architects and designers is a far cry from the timid way in which sustainable practices are generally approached in architecture. This exhibit demonstrates the varied forms that architecture can take when taking on the environmental crisis.
