Rooted in land-use planning traditions, the department has pioneered new ways to analyze and enhance the physical form of cities, embraced the social sciences, expanded into studies of comparative planning and development practice around the world, and developed novel ways to negotiate effective action, nurture supportive technologies, and encourage reflective practice.

Exhibitions are organized by Gary Van Zante, Curator of Architecture and Design at the MIT Museum. (617.253.2825; vanzante@mit.edu). For information on the current exhibit, contact Laura Knott at 617.258.9106. (lknott@mit.edu).
The Wolk Gallery was established in 1995 in recognition of Elliot K. Wolk, Class of 1957, whose generous donation of Frank Stella's four-wall sculpture and collage, Loohooloo, is permanently installed in the adjacent Stella Conference Room.
