MET Warehouse Public Open House

About the event

The MIT School of Architecture and Planning has moved to the MET Warehouse. On Saturday, October 3, as part of MIT Future Fest, SA+P will open the MET to the MIT community and general public for the first time. From 10am–4pm, exhibitions, tours, talks, workshops, and hands-on experiences will showcase work from across SA+P and MIT.
Programs throughout the day are organized around four themes: Future of Community | Future of Making + Design | Future of Creativity | Future of Learning.

MET exhibitions

With new galleries and public spaces, the MET creates new opportunities for the School of Architecture and Planning to share its work with the wider community. Its inaugural exhibitions bring together work from across SA+P and MIT.

Occupancy

Presented by the MET Commons, Occupancy is the inaugural all-school exhibition at the MET. Organized around five themes — Ongoing Relations | Footprints | Labor and Trades | Migratory Desires | Polymaths — it explores what it means to move in, take up space, and become neighbors.
