A Temporary Museum of Ideas in the Making is an exhibition of 36 architectural models by Dartmouth students. The architectural model is the ultimate tool to explore, showcase, and test an idea from its concept to realization. It is a step before the building, or even the building itself. It is tangible, real. But it is also a seductive device that allows you to insert a miniature world, observe its habits, and imagine the new possibilities.

The architecture curriculum within Studio Art Department of Dartmouth College critiques the current condition within architectural education, which remains competitive, and the practice, which has become a mere service for the client. It explores architecture foundations through the lens of the art (re)turn in architecture. By emphasizing creativity, critical thinking and experimentation, the pedagogical model equips students and young designers with skills to envision and produce a more social and more public architecture that integrates the world’s larger concerns. The artistic approach contributes to reconfigure the core essence of architecture whereby creating a new tradition.
