Building Connections 2010 is an annual exhibition that illustrates the benefits of design education by showcasing K–12 student work from the Center for Architecture Foundation's 2009–2010 Learning By Design: NY in-school residency program and Programs@theCenter summer studios. The design of the exhibition allows for an immediate interaction between visitors and the works on display; emphasizes the hard work and talent of the students; and illustrates the center's unique methodologies and the benefits of design education.
