Please join us for a conversation with Mark Wasiuta on his latest publication, The Archival Exhibition: A Decade of Research at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery, 2006–2016, published by Columbia Books on Architecture and the City. 

Architecture has irrevocably been altered by the proliferation and advancement of new media technologies and forms of communication. From 2006–2016, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery under the directorship of Mark Wasiuta at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation was the center of a sustained research practice experimenting with these intersections. As the title suggests, the book records the possibilities of the archival exhibition as a mode, method, and problem of architecture, and is itself a record of a decade-long curatorial project that sought to reframe the documents, authors, and environments produced by and producing architecture.

On this occasion, Wasiuta will discuss how this project came to be and the process of designing the book.

This event is free of charge, but space is limited, so registration is recommended. 

Mark Wasiuta is Senior Lecturer in Architecture at Columbia GSAPP and Co-Director of the Critical, Curatorial and Conceptual Practices in Architecture program. His research exhibition practice focuses on architecture’s media, politics, and environments through under-examined projects of the postwar period.
