Latitudes proposes that the careful examination of key examples of architecture from across the Americas will reveal those aspects of the field that are most compelling. Looking deeply into the architecture of the Americas enables us to see our peculiar relationships with the enormous multiplicity of landscapes that are the result of different latitudes and attitudes; we see our differences as well as that which we share. Each building presented here abides in an authentic relationship with its place, and it is through this authenticity that each work is so compelling.

The Visual Resources Collection is excited to announce a new introductory Digital-SLR photography workshop. This one-hour session will focus on familiarizing students new to DSLRs with the cameras available for check-out in the VRC, in addition to covering basic shooting techniques. An overview of shooting modes, lens selection, aperture, shutter speed and exposure will be given, along with instruction on how to best utilize these camera settings in situations particularly relevant to students, including studio project and site condition documentation.

This exhibition features configurations assembled by Jeff Williams, assistant professor of sculpture and extended media at the UT Austin Department of Art. The work utilizes materials from the library's extensive 28,000+ sample collection and seizes upon the artificiality of the prescribed function of these objects. Williams’ configurations bring attention to the particular physical qualities of each, making us look close. Using items from the collection, he juxtaposes materials that would otherwise not be seen together.
