The photography exhibition at the Tech Garden demonstrates the ingenuity of local and international cell phone snapshot artists.

Cell phones have long surpassed their primary means of communication. They are now used to direct us from point A to point B, to make us dinner reservations and to calculate the direct percentage of tip money to leave the waiter. And thanks to the new gallery exhibit, Phonography, people can now showcase their cell phone photography in Syracuse for all to see.

School of Architecture graduate students travel to Denmark on an alumnus's dime to learn about infrastructure and society.

From the outside, the concrete Bagsværd Church looks like an industrial factory made from a series of stacked rectangles. A few steps closer into the courtyard, views of the clouds entice you, and it feels warm and bright. Inside, the curved concrete roof modulates light and mimics the form of the clouds. You’d barely know that one wall separates this serene sanctuary from a busy road and another bustling day in Copenhagen.

SU students show their (lack of) knowledge about environmental issues.

Imagine Syracuse University 50 years from now, under 10 feet of water — waves sloshing up the sides of the Carrier Dome, desk chairs and tables rushing past E.S. Bird Library, students backstroking down Marshall Street.  It’s a nightmarishly wet future for SU. But one that will become increasingly real if unmitigated global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continue to rise over the next half century, bringing the planet closer and closer to the point of irreversible change.
