What would you do with it?
Sponsored by Ingenuity, the Cleveland Festival of
Art and Technology, this juried architectural
exhibition invites architects, architectural interns,
students, engineers, artists and designers living or

The intent of the exhibit is to keep the debate alive
– through both imaginary and real alternatives to
