Exhibition: Brooklyn in Process, Work by Marvel Architects

While architecture sets the stage for everyday life, the methods behind its making often remain unseen. In the exhibition Brooklyn in Process, New York City-based practice Marvel Architects invites visitors to consider recent projects from unconventional perspectives. On display are aerial views of buildings alive in the urban fabric, juxtaposed with intimate sketches suggesting design schemes that never came to pass. The exhibition rejects traditional presentations of architecture as static and finished.

Marvel reveals a field of architectural process— normally hidden from public view— that spans the conception, design, construction and active life of buildings. The immersive collage of text, image, model, video and virtual reality highlights just a small fraction of the setbacks, victories, defeats and discoveries that accompany the work of architecture.

Displaying a heterogeneous collection of artifacts, Brooklyn in Process maintains a frenetic and diffuse quality consistent with a borough undergoing increasingly rapid development and change.
