Join a group of RPI Architecture students for a studio-style presentation of their work exhibited in Imaginary Wilds: Architectural Interventions for the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. There will be two salons at 2 pm and 4 pm with a reception in between. The exhibition at the Thomas Cole Site presents architectural projects for the Thomas Cole National Historic Site by students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s School of Architecture at the museum.

This exhibition presents architectural projects created for the Thomas Cole National Historic Site done by students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s School of Architecture. Under the guidance of six design studio instructors, students envisioned new buildings to house a gallery and public gathering space at the historic site's campus. Framed by the concept of a mythic wild landscape, which was prevalent in Cole’s time and persists in ours, Imaginary Wilds presents a series of forward-looking designs that address real and ideal relationships between architecture and landscape.
