The Architects Collaborative 1945–1995: Tracing a Diffuse Architectural Authorship

This gallery exhibition and accompanying digital database display and make accessible significant original documentation, mapping, and historical study of the vast architectural output of The Architects Collaborative (TAC). This body of work shows the normalization of radical precepts of modernism into Massachusetts vernacular, especially in the building types of schools, housing, and healthcare. Founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1945 by eight equal partners, TAC was the largest exclusively architectural office in the US by the 1970s. Their internal record lists about 1,500 jobs (1945–83), although only a handful of these are commonly known. This project seeks to trace the mainstreaming of the subtly political modernism that the group so carefully used to both erase as style and embrace as philosophy.

The result of several years of archival research and fieldwork, this exhibition will present historical photographs and ephemera related to hundreds of previously-unpublished built projects, as well as new physical models and images.
