“City of 7 Billion: A Constructed World”: A two-year project building on research surrounding issues of global urbanization and sustainability. In 2013, Hsiang and Mendis received the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows Latrobe Prize, funding research leading to advances in architecture, as well as the Hines Research Grant for Advanced Sustainability. The exhibition was supported in part by the Yale School of Architecture’s exhibition program.
The project and exhibition team were led by Hsiang and Mendis, and includes Robert Cannavino ’14 M.Arch., Andrew Ruff ’15 M.E.D., Brent Sturlaugson ’15 M.E.D., and Miroslava Brooks ’12 M.Arch. The YSoA exhibition team includes Alfie Koetter ’11 M.Arch., director of exhibitions, and Alison Walsh, exhibition coordinator. YSoA students assisted in the final production of project components.
Caitlin Thissen, Dan Marty, and Anne Lawren composed, edited, and printed final images and drawing sets.
