Since its founding in 1969\, the school has always of fered students the opportunity to integrate a wide range of visual arts st udies into their studio design education and their design research work.\n \nThe artists presented in this exhibit continue the tradition of their pr edecessors (Candido\, Lionni\, Roos\, et al.) by adding the tools\, techni ques\, and sensibility of their endeavors\, their art\, and their craft to the student experience and working vocabulary.\n\nInclusion and diversity are integral to the school. This is reflected in the cultures and languag es of both the students and faculty. This is also true of the variety of w orks by the five fine artists represented. Painting\, sculpture\, and phot ography are married\, for the first time\, in the Atrium Gallery and illus trate the breadth of opportunity available to the students.\n\nLance Jay B rown\, FAIA\, DPACSA\nProfessor\, City College of New York\nLbrown@ccny.cu ny.edu\n\nCommentary: Art + Architecture \n\nArtists have always held a pr ivileged if somewhat ambiguous position within modern schools of architect ure. At the Bauhaus\, “form masters” like Johannes Itten\, Paul Klee\, Wassily Kandinsky\, and Josef Albers played a unique role in the life of the school\, and indeed made seminal contributions to its design pedagogy. Albers\, László Moholy-Nagy\, and György Kepes brought this tradition to the United States in the 1930s\, inculcating their powerful “new visi on” in architecture students. During the second half of the twentieth ce ntury\, as architecture education became increasingly professionalized\, a s the university structure reinforced the tendency to disciplinary special ization\, and as a technological orientation displaced the remnants of the Beaux-Arts system\, the fine arts were further marginalized within the cu rriculum. However\, there were always significant exceptions to this trend \, especially at schools with an adjacency to major art institutions or co mmunities. Interrelations between architects and artists continued to evol ve in the 1970s and ’80s in synch with changes occurring in the art worl d\, and postmodernism brought a new affinity for artistic forms of represe ntation and more subjective approaches to architectural knowledge. At a pr actical level\, almost all architecture schools have continued to offer co urses in subjects like drawing\, two-dimensional design\, color\, and phot ography. These have frequently been taught by practicing artists. While th e artist is no doubt more of a rara avis on the architecture faculty today \, especially since the advent of the computer\, she or he remains a deepl y valued presence in the school\, bringing much-needed aesthetic sensibili ty and an inspirational point of view to an ever more pragmatic discipline .\n\nJoan Ockman\nSenior Lecturer\, University of Pennsylvania School of D esign\nVisiting Professor\, Cooper Union School of Architecture\nVisiting Professor\, Cornell University School of Architecture\nEditor\, Architectu re School: Three Centuries of Educating Architects in North America (MIT P ress\, 2012)\n\nMedia Coverage\n\nThe Riverdale Press: "It's All About Per spective for These Architecture Professors"  \nArchitectural Record: "Ex clusive Look at Architectural Photos by Albert Vecerka" \n\n \; CATEGORIES:Exhibits LOCATION:Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, 141 Convent Aven ue\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bernard and Ann e Spitzer School of Architecture:geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20171105T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
