The Public School (for Architecture) is a self-organizing educational program for which the curriculum and schedule are proposed by the general public. Administered by common room and the Telic Arts Exchange (in collaboration with Performa), courses of The Public School (for Architecture) will be taught throughout New York City as itinerant installations during the fall of 2009. The curriculum for The Public School will be developed through public access to its website (nyc.thepublicschool.org/), and the development of course topics and class participation is open to non-architects and architects alike. The school’s mission is to create a public for architecture while opening up architecture for the public.
