The entry of Hayes Hall was transformed last month by "Net-Works: Dark Matter and the Periphery," a collective project experiment co-designed with School of Architecture and Planning students. The installation explored the periphery in Buffalo — buildings, spaces and communities that are part of the everyday and hold significance, history and less-told narratives — as a space that holds power and demands study.
