Head Hi + Pratt School of Architecture present A Purple Architecture

Join the Pratt School of Architecture’s Undergraduate Chair of Architecture Stephen Slaughter, Professor Jason Vigneri-Beane, and Head Hi for a book talk, celebration and Augmented Realty experience for A Purple Architecture, an edited collection of essays and projects investigating Purpleness, as a quality independent from the virtual and physical, the material and immaterial, and mundane and exotic.

Contributors to the book including Jason Vigneri-Beane, Stephanie Sang Delgado, Galo Canizares, and Ryan Scavnicky will discuss its premise and a world in between the virtual and physical with mixed-reality designer Jeffrey Anderson. After the talk, use your phone to experience the AR book cover and models that inspired the book’s investigations into articulating a future where technology and reality are blurred yet seen as an opening of possibilities.

A Purple Architecture is edited by James F. Kerestes, Ebrahim Poustinchi, & Vahid Vahdat with the book and its augmented reality experience designed by Ebrahim Poustinchi.
