About Looking Forward

The Athenaeum is an independent member-supported library and museum that engages members, scholars and the interested general public. A vital on-site and on-line community, it actively celebrates the cultural and intellectual life of Philadelphia with historical, design, literary and educational activities.

Looking Forward is a conceptual architectural design competition which challenged architects, designers and artists to imagine an Athenaeum of the future, in honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Athenaeum, in 2014.
