Chicago Architecture Biennial

New Horizon_architecture from Ireland opened at Chicago Design Museum on October 3rd 2015 and runs until January 31st 2016, as part of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial. This flagship exhibition of Irish architecture and the built environment presents the work of three practices – A2 Architects, GKMP Architects and Ryan W. Kennihan Architects – for the first time in Chicago. Informed by the Biennial’s theme, ‘The State of the Art of Architecture’, the three Irish practices have been tasked to make an intervention – part installation, part exhibition – in the Chicago Design Museum. The architects have collaborated on constructing a temporary mirrored canopy, designing and fabricating a generous communal table, and presenting a selection of work from their offices in Dublin.

It is a youthful, collaborative organisation that brings together volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds to produce exhibitions, workshops and events that define, celebrate and explore our relationship to design. http://www.chidm.com
