Architecture and The Mail
A collaboration between Jeannie Kim and Hunter Tura, The Architectural League of New York and 1000 designers and 1000 thinkers.

Our proposal is simple: We will produce a series of 1000 postcards, each depicting a single unpublished image from a relatively unknown designer and arrange for them to be sent to one individual of a selected group of influential architects, urbanists, academics, curators and cultural critics.

A Global Call for Images.

Our hope is that we will receive images from all over the world and randomly disseminate these images back into a global context, making unlikely connections and creating unforeseen acquaintanceships.

While this is admittedly a utopian proposal, our aim is to connect fresh ideas with those individuals who contribute to the development of independent careers in architecture.

At the conclusion of the mailing, we will collect all 1000 images for a catalogue and exhibition with comments from selected recipients.
