While the Yale School of Architecture has taken up temporary headquarters this year, it will continue to offer an extensive program of lectures and exhibits -- beginning this fall with an exhibition on suburban sprawl and a lecture by celebrated urban planner Nick Johnson.
During the renovation and restoration of Paul Rudolph's landmark Art & Architecture (A&A) Building, the School of Architecture will occupy temporary quarters in a newly constructed building at 32-36 Edgewood Ave. That facility will become the new home of the Yale School of Art's sculpture department when the renovation of the A&A Building is completed in the fall of 2008. For the coming academic year, School of Architecture exhibitions will take place in the Gallery at 32 Howe St. (next to the Edgewood Avenue building).
Johnson, the director of development at the urban regeneration company Urban Splash and the current Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellow at Yale, will deliver the first lecture of the season, "Profit and the Planet: Placemaking for the People." The lecture will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, in the Robert J. McNeil Lecture Hall of the Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel St. It is free and open to the public.
The exhibition, "A Field Guide to Sprawl," will be on view Aug. 31-Oct. 19. The show, which examines the prototypes of poorly planned developments that litter the American landscape, features 48 aerial photographs by photojournalist Jim Wark and a textual commentary by urban historian Dolores Hayden, professor of architecture and American studies at Yale. Hayden is a celebrated author of books on American culture and the built environment.
The exhibition is open to the public free of charge. The Gallery is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. It is closed on Sunday.
