Boston Architectural Center exhibition of Paolo Soleri's work, THE ARCHITECTURE OR PLACE, THE PLACE OF ARCHITECTURE, is located in the McCormick Gallery. McCormick Gallery is physically and visually accessible from Newbury Street. Its exhibits celebrate the craftsmanship that inspires not only the BAC's architecture and interior design students but also neighborhood residents, artists, and professionals working in the design field.
Part of the exhibition is a earth and silt casting workshop, taught to BAC students by Cosanti Foundation staff member Roger Tomalty.[Photo: Jeff Stein & text: BAC, sa]
Earth and silt casting is a large part of the building process in the construction of Cosanti and Arcosanti. Roger Tomalty was construction manager of the Ceramics Apse and the Foundry Apse at Arcosanti.
