Looks Like But Isn't Exhibition

Today’s most innovative and ecologically responsive materials defy easy categorization based on surface appearance. Curated by Associate Professor Igor Siddiqui, this exhibition seeks to connect the audience’s perspective based on visual information with a deeper consideration of where the materials on view come from, how they behave, and in what way they may contribute to a more sustainable future. Designed as a series of diorama-like displays placed throughout the Materials Lab’s collection, the exhibition uses the language of architectural models as a means of further eliciting a sense of discovery and surprise across multiple scales.
