Architecture and the Mail

When: April 2006

Our proposal is simple: We will produce a series of 1000 postcards, each depicting a single unpublished image from a relatively unknown designer and arrange for them to be sent to a selected group of 1000 influential architects, urbanists, academics, curators, journalists and cultural critics.

Our hope is that we will receive images from all over the world and randomly disseminate these images back out into a global context, making unlikely connections, and creating unforeseen acquaintanceships. While this is admittedly a utopian proposal, our aim is to connect fresh ideas with those individuals who contribute to the development of independent careers in architecture.

At the conclusion of the mailing, we will collect al 1000 images for a catalogue and an exhibition with comments from selected recipients.
