The Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) is proud to announce the opening of In Common: Sites of Encounter, an exhibition exploring the spaces—both intentional and improvised—where people come together. Spanning civic buildings, skateparks, dormitories, and stairwells, In Common examines how design influences connection, belonging, and public life. Some spaces are carefully planned; others evolve through daily use. Together, they illustrate how the built environment supports and shapes community.
The exhibition features work by architects, designers, and collaborators from across Greater Boston, presented through drawings, models, and photographs. It is organized around six spatial typologies: Belonging, Culture, Healing, Play, Welcome, and Learning. These categories offer a framework for considering different ways that space shapes collective life. They are not fixed; they overlap, blur, and complicate one another—as do the projects themselves. A limited-edition In Common newspaper, containing images and information about all of the projects in the show, is available for free to gallery visitors.
In Common: Sites of Encounter is presented by the BSA Foundation, with support from TriPyramid and CityWide Contracting.
