Anniversary Celebrations
Measures and Meaning
Visit an exhibition of selected works by the AAP community on view across the college's galleries and exhibition spaces celebrating Architecture's 150th academic year, and 100 years of art education at Cornell.

Hundredfold
In celebration of a century of art education at Cornell University, the Department of Art presents Hundredfold, a publication showcasing 100 years of the department's history across 100 pages. At the invitation of department Chair Paul Ramírez Jonas, Fall 2021 Visiting Critic Kayla Romberger spearheaded the project in collaboration with designers Kyla Arsadjaja and Nicholas Weltyk, as well as a team of assistants and alumni. Hundredfold is the inaugural publication printed by the department's first risograph studio, recently founded by Ramírez Jonas.
Letters from the chairs
Architecture at 150
"From here, we not only look back and see 150 years of enduring tradition and constant evolution, but we also look around us for intersections and places to re-enter; to begin again, to disrupt, aspire, and act; to make change now and build a future on a new, or another understanding of what has been and what is. In other words, we have a collective invitation to a present that asks, or rather implores, us to build a more fair, sustainable, and meaningful world. Ultimately, to imagine what can be so that in another 150 years' time, future generations will benefit from having found out what that is."
Art at 100
"One hundred years is not a lot of time. For 50–60,000 years, what we now call art has been consistently mixing and hybridizing across cultures. It has been and continues to be borrowed respectfully and not, outright stolen, cast into an imagined future, and revived from its own past. This cultural back-and-forth and side-to-side is a relay between individuals. And this constant motion has often managed to transcend membership, nationality, biology, religion, other forms of identity. Art suggests that we can knit together a self-organized, spontaneous group across cultures and time. Our community is one hundred years old this year."
