Survival Architecture and the Art of Resilience, opening Saturday, October 15, is a traveling exhibit organized and curated by the Oakland, California-based nonprofit Art Works for Change. In moments of change, what constitutes a home might evolve quickly. The exhibit features the work of artists and designers drawn from around the world whose design innovations - high-tech and low-tech, extravagant and affordable - are meant for helping individuals adapt during turbulent times. By combining science, technology, architecture and art, the exhibit encourages us to consider notions of safety and security.
