Exhibitionist Storage: Reimagining Civic Architecture through Self-Storage

The Georgia Tech Library is proud to present Exhibitionist Storage: Reimagining Civic Architecture through Self-Storage at the Interactive Media Zone (IMZ), located on Price Gilbert’s Grove Level, through Thursday, Feb. 12.

Created by 14 senior studio undergraduate students in the School of Architecture, Exhibitionist Storage is curated and by architect and educator Hyojin Kwon. It brings together speculative architectural projects that ask an unlikely but urgent question: What if storage — one of the most ubiquitous, yet invisible building types in the contemporary American city — were treated as a civic architecture?

Developed over the course of the Fall 2025 semester, the projects take self-storage facilities — often dismissed as banal, anonymous containers of excess — as a serious architectural and cultural subject.
