 Photos: Claire Harlan 2x8 is an annual exhibition organized by the American Institute of Architects/ Los Angeles Chapter, showcasing exemplary student work from local architecture and design institutions throughout the Los Angeles region. Celebrating the unequaled diversity in pedagogical directions, each of the twelve participating academic programs select two projects that exemplify its core vision. Through this important exhibition, the American Institute of Architects/Los Angeles hopes to forge an invaluable link between this emerging talent and the professional world, giving rise to significant collaborations and alliances vital to the improvement of our built environment.
  This year's third annual 2x8 exhibition is entitled Motion. Open to many interpretations, Motion encompasses the wide variety of processes and pedagogies these institutions offer. Each of the participating institutions is given the freedom to utilize, define or manipulate the phrase as it wishes, creating a remarkable range of ideas and imagery illustrated in the selected projects. In addition to these presentations, student-run forums at the museum will extend a critical discourse on design and its impact in the local and global community.
