A Space for Architecture and Environmental Design

At Tyler, we believe it is important to share the work of architects in an engaging and approachable context. With this in mind, the Vojislav Exhibition wall was created. Each semester, a new exhibit displays the work of Tyler's Architecture students, guest lecturers or faculty.

Reflections on Regeneration

From October 2024 through April 2025, Tyler School of Art and Architecture landscape architecture students participated in design-build studio coursework that culminated in the presentation of “Reflections on Regeneration: an artful response to our changing environment,” Temple University’s educational exhibit at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s 2025 Philadelphia Flower Show, “Gardens of Tomorrow.”

Temple’s participation in this competitive, juried show, which draws local and international exhibitors, is an annual project in the third year BSLA design studio sequence. Students design, build, and construct a public-facing exhibit that artfully displays plants and physically and conceptually fulfills annual show themes.

The Atlas for Post-Disciplinary Design

October - November 2025

In the summer of 2025, the Atlas for Post-Disciplinary Design issued an international call for submissions to be included in a series of exhibitions and a subsequent publication. The call sought work that candidly or incidentally challenged singular disciplinary frameworks and representational norms through the exploration, fixation, or integration of innovative post-disciplinary methodologies. The final exhibition featured 208 unique pieces submitted by external speakers, internal moderators, workshop facilitators, invited exhibitors, and participants from the open call.

September – October 2025 

In the spring and summer of 2025, architecture faculty and students led an interdisciplinary research project to develop a new biogenic building material composed of flax, the Latin name for which is translated as “most useful fiber.”  

The usefulness of the material created is significant, extending from the environmental to the economic to the cultural. Through this study, the project participants were drawn into an active engagement with the natural world and each other.
