National Design Triennial
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum,
Smithsonian Institution, New York
2000 and 2003
This ongoing series of exhibitions and related books takes the pulse of contemporary American architecture and design. The work of 80 to 100 young innovators and mature, but still influential, masters were included in the first two installments, from Frank Gehry to Greg Lynn, Jonathan Ive/Apple Computer to Steven Burks.
Mr. Albrecht co-organized the exhibitions and selected a roster of its featured participants.
