Yale on national tour of green building exhibition
An exhibition on green design and building, on view in the architecture gallery during the first half of the fall semester, demonstrated the emerging collaboration of stylish architecture, interior design, and environmental responsibility. "The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design" grew out of a 2005 book by the same name and included photographs and models of 20 green houses in the United States and abroad. The show opened at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC, in May 2006, and appeared in several venues before coming to Yale in August. In a review published September 20, the New York Times declared, "The show has never looked better than at its present location, the double-height gallery at the base of the Yale Art and Architecture Building, recently restored to perfection and renamed Paul Rudolph Hall for its creator."
Celebrating the Las Vegas Studio
A pair of complementary exhibitions in the school's gallery memorialize the celebrated 1968 Las Vegas Studio at Yale and examine the influence of the studio's teachers in the intervening years. “What We Learned: The Yale Las Vegas Studio and the Work of Venturi Scott Brown & Associates” comprises two independently organized exhibitions: “The Yale Las Vegas Studio,” a traveling show of more than 100 color photographs, several slide projections, and original materials from the 1968 "field trip" to Las Vegas that Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown led with 13 Yale architecture students to study the Las Vegas Strip; and "What We Learned," a Yale exhibition curated by Dean Sakamoto ’98MEnvD with David Sadighian ’10MenvD, which focuses on Venturi and Scott Brown's influential contributions to the urban landscape through selected work of their Philadelphia-based firm. It includes drawings, posters, photographs, and text as well as furniture and pieces from early buildings designed by the architects. The exhibitions are on view through February 5, 2010.
