This conference proposes a new multi-prepositional approach to issues of contemporary practice. Focusing on a single project currently under construction, the American Museum of Natural History’s Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation (Studio Gang and Reed Hilderbrand), architects, historians, and critics will address what potentialities, past and future, are bound up in and/or are released by the (natural) history of an institutional building project.
