Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) will present Ezra Stoller Architectural Photography, on view June 19-December 19, 2004. This exhibition features approximately fifty of Stoller's black and white photographs of famous modern American buildings, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and Edgar Kaufmann house, known as Fallingwater, Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson's Seagram Building, Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal, Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building, and Louis Kahn's Salk Institute. As Paul Goldberger, the former architecture critic of the New York Times, has written, "...[Stoller's] pictures are surely among the most reproduced, and they have in and of themselves played a major role in shaping the public's perception of what modern architecture is all about."
Working at the height of the modernist style in America (from the mid-1940s through the 1960s), Ezra Stoller became one of the preeminent architectural photographers in the world. His exacting attention to detail and unparalleled ability to translate an architect's vision into two dimensions has made his images prized by architects, editors, and collectors. Indeed, he was considered 'the only man for the job' among architects seeking images of their work, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer.
Commentary by Stoller on the architects with whom he worked and information about the conditions he encountered while making the photographs will be
included.

The London Architecture Biennale In Clerkenwell sets out to celebrate the vibrant architectural scene in London today. Never before has architecture been a subject of such popular interest, never before has London been home to so many leading international practices.
Exhibitions, talks, walks, debates, seminars, visits, conferences and parties.
The first London Biennale will be hosted by Clerkenwell because the area houses a high percentage of the movers and shakers of today and also because
it enjoys such a wealth of history. The Biennale will illustrate how the past determines the future.
The Biennale will attract visitors from all over the world, but it will also be accessible to the local community. It will look at how cultural industries are a force for regeneration; it will look at public space in the city and aims to improve a space in Clerkenwell as a permanent legacy of the event.
The Biennale will be unique in that it will present the work of architects operating on the world stage, but it will be securely grounded in the environment of Clerkenwell.

Over 2,000 of the museum's historic photographs, postcards, and other illustrations are now available online through VIVA: Visual Index to the Virtual Archive, a web interface based on a highly detailed 3-D computer model of Manhattan in the year 2000. VIVA is inspired by the way in which visitors, virtual or actual, come to comprehend a city through its geography and landmarks. Delving into Manhattan's neighborhoods and streetscapes, visitors can explore the modern city and discover its hidden history.
