“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world”.

Archimedes

“Levers Long Enough to Move the World” is an upcoming exhibition of architectural sketches at the Pratt School of Architecture. It is organized around two questions. First, what is the sketch today? Second, how has the sketch changed over the lifespan of contemporary practices?
