Here + Now: Students on Show

Here + Now is a new show I’m helping organize at the SPUR Urban Center. Here’s the blurb:

SPUR is pleased to present a look into the life and achievements of students currently working to promote our mission, both locally and beyond. Join us for the opening reception for Here and Now: Students on Show, an exhibit on view at the SPUR Urban Center from July 26-August 27, 2010.

From addressing the most prevalent social and physical issues in our own backyard, to creating solutions for the world’s poor, local students are tackling the most significant issues facing our world today. Drawn from a range of graduate and undergraduate work produced in Bay Area schools, this exhibit includes exemplary projects from the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, graphic design-among others- to highlight the groundbreaking work emerging from our regional institutions.

In addition to demonstrating the scope and diversity of studies and solutions, work also captures the unique student experience, and the unmatched opportunity to think deeply, concretely, and globally about the many facets of the physical and social environment, and present ideas with freshness and vitality. Projects unite careful study, collaboration, and tremendous vision, with social and environmental stewardship, and the most current methods of research and design.

Also included is the past work of SPUR’s own Piero N. Patri Fellowship, SPUR’s annual fellowship for students of urban design.
