RUNNING FROM SEP 2009 - MAR 2010 //

The Eisner – American Museum of Advertising & Design is pleased to announce the showing of the exhibition “Unseen Architecture: MKE.” This exhibit showcases creative and inspirational architectural thinking. Running from September 2, 2009 through March 2010, this exhibit highlights unbuilt projects from 18 local architecture firms.

Like many of the creative fields, the public only sees a small portion of what was conceived. This holds true in architecture as well. For this reason, The Eisner and AIA Milwaukee have joined together to explore the concept drawings and models and applaud the efforts of what could be.

“We are excited to bring in this amazing array of creative thinking,” said Cori Coffman, executive director of The Eisner. “Design comes in many forms, architecture being one of them. If these concept drawings were built, Milwaukee would have a far more progressive looking skyline.”
