Structures of our Time: 31 Buildings That Changed Modern
Life
The Octagon is pleased to announce the latest addition to
its national traveling exhibition program. Since 1969, The
American Institute of Architects has celebrated the enduring
power of architecture and good design through its annual
25-Year Award, honoring structures that are 25 to 35 years old
and widely recognized to be of special significance and broad
influence. To celebrate over three decades of this important
award, the Octagon, the museum of the American Architectural
Foundation is circulating a reproduction panel exhibition that
not only honors these great American buildings and their
designers but also explores the ability of architecture to
affect the world around it.
Recipients of the award include Rockefeller Center, NYC,
the Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri, Dulles International
Airport, Chantilly, Virginia, and the Farnsworth House, Plano,
Illinois.
Structures of Our Time is available for six-week bookings
starting in late summer of 2002. For additional information
contact the Octagon’s assistant collections manager, Mari Nakahara at
(202) 626-7461 or email
mnakahara@theoctagon.org.
We are very grateful to the generous sponsors of this
exhibition: CNA/Schinnerer Insurance Programs, The American
Institute of Architects, the AIA College of Fellows, The
Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, and
McGraw-Hill Construction Information Group.
