ARCHITECTURE - EXHIBIT DESIGN

Operating across a range of architectural/urban planning problems is challenging and enriching, in fact exhilarating, and has characterized our practice from its beginnings. There was once a slogan, "from spoons to cities," variously attributed to commentators all the way back to Alberti, which came to be associated with the dubious idea of the heroic mid-twentieth century modernist who at a moment’s notice (or whim) tackles any design problem. In its positive sense, the phrase suggested that creative thinking is elastic and certain design sensibilities transferable across different kinds of problems.

We have not designed any spoons at Chan Krieger Sieniewicz, however we have several completed projects on a scale much closer to this utensil than to whole cities. This work includes a series of exhibitions, beginning of course with maps, and lately featuring immigrant influences as seen through the eyes of children, as well as Boston’s history. Locations for exhibitions in this section include Gund Hall at Harvard University, the Boston Public Library, and the Kravis Center in Palm Beach, Florida.
