"Space Threshold," the first edition of many to come, was released in December 2007 and reveals faculty members' and students' pensive and captivating discussions about theory and practice in their design and art works. The discussed works are illustrated in a twenty page spread in the center pages of the journal. The beautifully illustrated, seventy-page journal, "Space Thresholds," will be on display at the exhibition and includes a description of the inspiration for "Space Thresholds," eight essays that examine the subject of theory and practice, and an ancient Persian poem found in an essay by Louis Kahn. The Journal will be available for sale at the gallery.
The exhibition is located at Harrington College of Design, 200 West Madison Street 1st Floor, Chicago, IL and has been organized and designed by architect and faculty member, Constantine Vasilios and Harrington students. The show will continue to be open to the public through the end of September.
