SUPERFRONT
promoting contemporary architecture for an interdisciplinary world
SUPERFRONT, a Brooklyn-based not-for-profit organization for architectural experimentation and creative interdisciplinary exchange, is sponsoring the work of Manuel Avila as 2011 Architect-in-Residence. An independent jury of New York architects and artists selected Manuel Avila's proposal CROWN HEIGHTS PARTICIPATORY URBANISM for SUPERFRONT's 2011 Architect-in-Residence program in Brooklyn.
SUPERFRONT's Architect-in-Residence program supports emerging artists and architects from underrepresented social demographics, especially LGBT women, and/or Black, Latino, and/or Pacific Islander architects of any gender, in their development as artists or architects working with urban space. Candidates based in Brooklyn are also given preference. The Residency selects candidates from a juried selection process, based upon their written statement and portfolio of works. The program emphasizes experimental and interdisciplinary work within the context of contemporary architecture.
SUPERFRONT is a not-for-profit organization for architectural experimentation and creative
interdisciplinary exchange. Since January 2008, SUPERFRONT has invited students, emerging
architects, designers, visual artists, and performance artists to engage in a public forum that raises awareness of contemporary architectural practice and theory. A Brooklyn-based organization,SUPERFRONT fosters creative interdisciplinary exchange amongst emerging architects, artists, and the public through exhibits, publications, panels, and temporary built projects.
