North Carolina Museum of Art
Shallowford Cliffs on Display
Visitors to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh participated in a year-long educational exhibit about architecture. From the Ground Up: Experiencing Architecture, opened on March 7, 1992 and ran until March 7, 1993, offering a wide array of lectures, films, workshops and other activities designed to encourage an exploration of various aspects of architecture.
One of the companion exhibits was the presentation of 24 award-winning buildings from North Carolina and surrounding states. Photographs, drawings, models and floor plans of six different buildings were on display in the Museum's Education wing lobby, rotating each quarter during the course of the year. The featured buildings were selected by the North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA North Carolina). All 24 selections were designed by North Carolina architects.
