"FORT GREENE - THE PRATT INSTITUTE'S School of Architecture is set to open a new exhibition of contemporary architectural sketches this week, exploring how the discipline is evolving in an increasingly high-tech world. "Levers Long Enough to Move the World," curated by Andrew Holder, Chair of Graduate Architecture, features contributions from more than 50 contributing architects, from traditional pencil sketches to experimental digital forms."
"An opening will be held on Wednesday at Pratt's Higgins Hall Gallery, featuring a talk by Edward Eigen, Senior Lecturer in the History of Landscape and Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, as well as snacks and a reception, starting at 6:15 p.m. on Feb. 4 . "[Sketches] are a way of asserting architecture's physicality in an ever-less material world, and of exerting the force of this physicality entirely out of proportion to their smallness, quickness, and humility," Pratt writes."
