GALLERY WATCH: "Inhabiting Geometry" by Anne Tyng

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at UPenn is currently home to "Inhabiting Geometry," an exhibit by architectural big shot Anne Tyng. Tyng — one of the first women to receive a master's degree in architecture from Harvard — has been teaching architecture for 30 years at UPenn, and has created an exhibit which is part geometric theory-oriented and part aesthetics-oriented.

The result is somewhat overwhelming for this English geek but you have until March 27 to enjoy the polyhedronic bliss of Tyng's shape philosophy at ICA. A former long-term collaborator with architect Louis Kahn (pop-culturally noteworthy as the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary My Architect: A Son's Journey), Tyng puts her order-from-chaos-esque worldview into her arrangement of models and drawings.
