Architecture at the Nevada Museum of Art
UnBuilt Reno: Alternative Architectural Landscapes an exhibition that explores unrealized Reno architectural designs will be hosted at the Nevada Museum of Art from March 29 until July 6, 2008. The exhibition includes architectural drawings, sketches, digital renderings, and scaled models of residential, commercial, and public projects from 1926 to the present - including previous proposals for various riverfront development projects and innovative designs for area residences.
UnBuilt Reno features 17 three-dimensional architectural models and over 30 drawings. Project range from the original proposal for Reno's iconic Riverside Hotel by Frederick DeLongchamps to Michael Rotondi's award-winning 1987 "Reno House" design, and a rendering of Carlos Zapata's doaring Waterfront project from 2005/2006. Other designs include a holistic health "Metaresort" original planned for Montreaux Golf and Country Club, as well as hotel-casinos, civic centers, mixed-use commercial/retail buildings, historic rehabilitation projects, and luxury homes. The architects and designers featured offer alternative visions of Reno that might have transpired had the projects actually been realized.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Black Rock Design Institute (BRDI). The exhibition is presented as part of the NMA's Art + Environment exhibition series, an initiative that brings community, artists, and scholars together to explore the interaction between people and their environments.
Frank Lloyd Wright and the House Beautiful, an exhibit featuring more than 100 original objects from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and other collections is at the Nevada Museum of Art until July 20, 2008.
