2010 Theme Statement
The design profession has suffered greatly this past year with layoffs, budget cuts and projects put on hold indefinitely. We believe these archived ideas, projects and dreams deserve to see the light of day. This year's model exhibit HOPE, is dedicated to all the un-built work waiting for its debut. We may not be able to fix the economy, but we can collectively celebrate what will someday become a part of our built world. |
