The 2021 edition of Exhibit Columbus, the Indiana city’s annual architecture festival is about to open its doors, promising site specific installations, debates and exploration on ‘middle America’‘Exhibit Columbus was created as a way to reignite interest in the story of Columbus and its architectural legacy,’ muses thefestival’s director Anne Surak, reflecting on the event’s origins.

’The legacy of Columbus architecture was being archived, in a sense, and not moving forward,’ Surak continues. ‘Our goal was really to reactivate this heritage, recontextualize the buildings that the town is so famous for, and provide an engaging way to get architects and designers to create a dialogue with what was already here, while also experimenting with bold ideas.’

For a city of its size , Columbus, Indiana has a wealth of fascinating architecture. From Eero Saarinen’s First Christian Church to a library by I.M. Pei, and SOM"s Edward Charles Bassett’s City Hall, the city is a treasure trove of midecentury gems - and more.

While the architectural participation and wider connectios are global and the event broadcasts far beyond the city’s - and state’s - borders, keeping the idea of ‘local’ central to the festival is also important - especially when it comes to the city’s younger generation. It is also one of the aspects of the festival that is closer to Surak’s heart.

‘Our emphasis on education and engaging young people in our work [inspires me]. One of the key facets of the exhibition is the High School Design Team. The Design Team participates through the two-year cycle of events. They design and build a project alongside professional architects and designers,’ she explains. ‘We’re really proud of that engagement.
