Additional information
Together, they'll explore the intersection of art, architecture, and responsive design in the urban landscape.
The MIT Museum's newest exhibition, Remembering the Future, is the culmination of the book's narrative which spans the past twenty-five years of Janet Echelman's monumentally scaled public sculptures using unlikely materials, from atomized water particles to engineered fiber fifteen times stronger than steel. She weaves ancient craft and computational modeling software into an utterly unique art form.
