July 17 — September 27, 2008 South Street Seaport - Re-envisioning the Urban EdgeThe Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA) presents the Third Biennial Ideas Competition, South Street Seaport | Re- envisioning the Urban Edge. This competition encouraged participants to envision new connections, both material and metaphoric, between this richly historic neighborhood and Manhattan�s contemporary urban fabric. South Street Seaport | Re-envisioning the Urban Edge provided an opportunity, uncommon for students and young professionals in the field of design and architecture, to engage the ongoing evolution of the South Street Seaport. More than 200 participants entered the competition, representing a broad spectrum of domestic and international architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and graphic artists. From over 100 entries, a jury selected four top prizes, five honorable mentions, and additional Jury Selections, all of which are presented in this exhibition. ENYA partnered with the Seaman's Church Institute (SCI), whose headquarters have been in the neighborhood since 1832. The principal element of the program is a community center for local residents and gallery space to house the SCI�s collection of maritime art and artifacts. In addition, competitors were encouraged to make community-building interventions in open spaces throughout the site in order to preserve the neighborhood�s intriguing history, while re-imagining its future edge condition on the downtown New York waterfront.

June 23 — September 14, 2008 Buckminster Fuller Dymaxion Study CenterGalleries: Libary The Dymaxion Study Center will display over four hundred volumes of books by and about visionary inventor and theorist, Buckminster Fuller, whose work has influenced generations of architects and environmentalists. These volumes will include the complete and extremely rare set of Buckminster Fuller�s Synergetics Dictionary edited by Ed Applewhite, as well as other well-known works by Fuller, such as Synergetics and Nine Chains to the Moon. The Study Center will include selections from Fuller�s �live book squad� of influential texts and a Dymaxion timeline, outlining the evolution of Fuller�s geodesic designs in the context of their co-evolution with the Dymaxion map, organized in collaboration with Bonnie DeVarco, former Fuller Archivist and Shoji Sadao, President of Fuller and Sadao PC. On Monday, June 23rd, 2008, the Center for Architecture will also unveil the Buckminster Fuller�s Fly�s Eye Dome, courtesy of the Buckminster Fuller Institute and Max Protetch Gallery, New York, in conjunction with NYC Department of Transportation�s Temporary Art Program and Friends of LaGuardia Place. The dome will be temporarily displayed at LaGuardia Park between Bleecker and West 3rd Streets. Its presence will draw attention to the imminent re-design of the park by landscape architect, Adrian Smith, ASLA, working with students and Friends of LaGuardia Place. �The Fly�s Eye domes are designed as components of a �livingry� service. The basic hardware components will produce a beautiful, fully equipped, air-deliverable house that weighs and costs about as much as a good automobile. Not only will it be highly efficient in its use of energy and materials, it also will be capable of harvesting incoming light and wind energies.� - Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path, 1983. The Center for Architecture�s Dymaxion Study Center will offer audiences an in-depth view of Buckminster Fuller, his influences, his words, and works. Organized by: AIA New York Chapter and the Center for Architecture Foundation in association with the Buckminster Fuller Institute Exhibition and Graphic Design: Project Projects

May 22 — September 6, 2008 Ecotones: mitigating NYC�s contentious sitesGalleries: Margaret Helfand Gallery, Gerald D Hines Gallery, Public Resource Center Given the global and local challenges of climate change, the Landscape Architecture profession is at the forefront of New York City's sustainability efforts. Collaborating with governments, regulatory agencies, community groups, and design professionals, Landscape Architects are transforming ecological problems into opportunities for habitation and recreation. With Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's sustainability plan, plaNYC, in place, the challenge is to understand the interconnectedness of the City's green spaces.
Ecotones are transition zones between adjacent ecosystems. In urban environments they emerge as contentious sites located between disparate or opposing forces: where industry meets the river; where community and industrial uses collide; where public and private interests merge. These areas are often the unconsidered result of infrastructure improvements and building developments yet have the potential to be cultural and ecological mitigators. The projects in this exhibition show us how sustainable practices, specifically, the collecting, cleansing, and reclaiming of water, can be used to mediate conflicting circumstances, integrating technical solutions with the social and cultural considerations that make for vibrant urban spaces.
