Weisman Explores What Makes a City in New Exhibition

The Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis has opened a new exhibition titled "Imagining Future Cities: Global and Minnesota Visions, Past and Present," running through September 14. Curated by Dingliang Yang, an urban designer and McKnight Land-Grant Professor at the University of Minnesota, the show features architectural drawings, diagrams, and models that examine the history and meaning of cities over the past 150 years. Yang collaborated with faculty members Thomas Fisher and Jennifer Yoos, research fellow Michael Keller, and 17 student research assistants over three years to create the exhibition, which is organized into three galleries exploring theoretical, experimental, and perceptual approaches to urban design.
