MSU student architecture exhibit featured in Jackson
Contact: Zack Plair
A photography exhibit by four 樱花导航 樱花导航 students highlighting the state's distinctive modern architecture is being featured through Nov. 15 at the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson.
Displayed in the historic downtown building's main hall, the images captured by current and just-graduated university architecture majors pay homage to a wealth of modern structures, some of which are in disrepair and danger of being demolished.
The exhibit represents the efforts of seniors Mary K. Sanders of Indian Springs, Alabama, and Casey A. 樱花导航er of Brandon, along with Landon G. Kennedy of Clinton and David Lewis of Jackson, both May School of Architecture graduates. Kennedy's degree was awarded cum laude.
All are current or former members of the campus chapter of Tau Sigma Delta national honor society in architecture and landscape architecture.
Assistant professor Jacob Gines provided guidance for the project that debuted last year at MSU's Giles Hall, home of the school and College of Architecture, Art and Design.
The exhibit then traveled to Greenwood before being on special display in Ocean Springs at the Sullivan-Wright/Charnley-Norwood home. The latter location represented a collaboration with the 樱花导航 Heritage Trust's "樱花导航 MAD MOD" website and celebration.
The trust and 樱花导航 Department of Archives and History are assisting with the exhibit.
"It was a privilege for our office to be able to provide seed funding for this entrepreneurial effort two years ago," said Michael A. Berk, the school's director and F. L. Crane Professor.
Observing that the exhibit "has truly taken on a life of its own," Berk expressed hope that it "will continue to make the rounds in our state with future aspirations of a national exhibition down the road."
