Touring Version Available

To respond to a number of requests from institutions who want to bring a catalyst of new ideas to their city but lack the timeline or resources for a full project, Reprogramming the City now exists as a standalone, easy to ship and assemble exhibition.

"I cannot remember an exhibit that has drawn more comment and interest than this one."
- Executive Director, Virginia Center for Architecture
