AIA Houston is the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. AIA Houston is a community of architects coming together to accomplish things in their practices and in our communities that no single architect can do alone. AIA has recently come together for Made/UnMade Houston: Technology, Fabrication, and Design.
Made/Unmade Houston: Technology, Fabrication, and Design is an exhibition and series of public programs connecting and promoting Houston designers, craftsmen, and their work. The project includes furniture, objects and installations designed and fabricated in Houston, with an emphasis on materials, process and craftsmanship. Narratives exploring the concepts as well as history, place and personalities behind the work are explored in graphic displays, videos, lectures, panel discussions, tours and studio visits.
Featured designers include: 1.618DesignWorks, Logan Beck, Alan Bruton Studio, Cobalt Office, Andrew Colopy, David Costanza, DMD Studios, Eklektic Jewelry Studio, I/O Studio, Jason Logan, Shawn Lutz, māk studio, Metalab, Noëlle Mulder, RE:site, and Root Lab.
This exhibit is curated by Eric Arnold, Assoc. AIA, and Michael Gonzales. Video production is by Kathryn Way. Jeffrey Liao and Mat Wolff are members of the exhibitions staff.
This exhibit and related programs are sponsored in part by the Architecture Center Houston Foundation, a grant from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design.
