BNIM is participating in 18 Details, an exhibition of 18 projects in the region from firms located in the greater Kansas City area. The exhibition is curated by Kansas State University Assistant Professor Genevieve Baudoin and is hosted by The Kansas City Design Center [KCDC].

The purpose of the exhibition is to define what building culture in this area is or is becoming through the detail – the moment where drawing, building, place, client, and design meet. The exhibition aspires to reveal the quality fostered by the unique nexus of the design community drawn here, the clients, patrons, and other personalities that contribute to that community, the builders, and the engineers that enable the work here, as well as our climate, our history, and our future in this place.

BNIM's project details include the Bloch Executive Hall and the Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

In addition to the projects by BNIM the exhibit will feature work from: DLR Group; DRAW Architecture + Urban Design; el dorado architects; Gould Evans Associates; Helix Architecture + Design; Hoefer Wysocki; Hollis + Miller Architects; Hufft; KEM Studio; PGAV Architects; Populous, Inc.; Rockhill & Associates; Seligson/Eggen; SFS Architecture; & Studio 804.

Curated by Asst. Prof. Genevieve Baudoin, Architecture Dept., Kansas State University. Made possible with funding from the Professional Advisory Board to the Architecture Department, College of Architecture, Planning & Design, Kansas State University.
