This book is the first to document the remarkable history of the International Institute of Design (IID), an independent school of architecture founded and directed by Alvin Boyarsky from 1970-72, and highlights a pivotal episode in the career of Boyarsky, best known for his subsequent role as chairman of the Architectural Association (1971-90). Launched in the wake of the institutional upheavals that had swept schools of architecture during the late 1960s, the IID introduced an alternative model of architectural education: one that brought together a range of teaching methods, design strategies, theories and projects alongside and international asortment of protagonists. In progress details this pioneering experiment through a trove of previously unpublished material, and reveals how three informal architectural gatherings, held over three successive summers, established not only a global network of architects and discourses, but also a new institutional platform for architectural education.
