Thanks for Coming to see us!
On July 02, 2025 the Institute celebrated the opening of ‘Architecture=Art: The Susan Grant Lewin Collection’
The show featured approximately 50 architectural presentation drawings by celebrated architects from around the world. The drawings—meticulously drawn by hand or digitally rendered—were from the personal collection of Susan Grant Lewin, a longtime advocate for contemporary architecture and design. Created as conceptual or presentation works, they reflect drawing as an essential part of the architect’s expressive process—less about documentation, more about persuasion and imagination. Among the architects represented were: Eileen Grey, Daniel Arsham, Frank Gehry, Jesse Reiser, Hani Rashid, Steven Holl, Aldo Rossi, Michael Graves, James Wines, Stanley Tigerman, John Hejduk, and many others.
Thank you to everyone who came to experience Susan Grant Lewin’s exhibit. We’re especially thankful to the team whose work made the exhibition possible—from curatorial planning and installation to the many behind-the-scenes details that brought the show to life. Your support helps sustain our mission of preserving and sharing the legacy of modern architecture through exhibitions and public programs.
