    The Architect's Tour: Notes for the Design Traveler

    This exhibition explores a range of archetypal situations and presupposes a philosophy of architecture in which senses such as sound, temperature, time, and touch are at least as important as the visual sense.

    The twenty-six photographs are drawn from Associate Professor Ben Jacks’ book, The Architect’s Tour: Notes for the Design Traveler published by Culicidae Architectural Press.

    In reviewing the book, Simon Unwin, author of Analysing Architecture, wrote:

    “The message of The Architect’s Tour is an important one: whether conceived in the abstract realm of paper or a computer screen, architecture’s ultimate sphere of power is and always has been in the real world. The laboratory and classroom of the student architect is ‘out there’: and it is stocked with wonderful places to visit and awe-inspiring buildings to study. Ben Jacks insists you go out into the world and look… because he knows you will become a better and better architect by filling your imagination with memories of great architecture! He also helps… by providing handy pointers to planning your own architectural tours.”

    The exhibition will travel to the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati and the College of Design, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.

    The exhibition is supported in part by grants from the College of Creative Arts and the Office for the Advancement of Research and Scholarship, Miami University.
