David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT

The exhibition includes crystalline vitrines that house artifacts and interactive screens that are controlled by visitors.

Pentagram designed the permanent exhibition space and environmental graphics for the Koch Institute Public Galleries, housed within the main lobby of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. The space is designed to introduce the public to the groundbreaking cancer research facilitated by the Institute.

The exhibition includes crystalline vitrines that house artifacts and interactive screens that are controlled by visitors. Large illuminated images featuring microscopic photography span the full length of the lobby. An etched timeline maps concurrent history for the two scientific spheres— biology and engineering—that form the Koch Institute. A colorful mosaic tile map locates the Institute within the surrounding MIT campus and Cambridge environs.

Retrospective: Saturday Night Live

When a scruffy after-hours comedy show debuted in NBC’s Studio 8H on October 11, 1975, no one could have known that the entertainment world was about to be changed forever. Over the next half century, Saturday Night Live would launch the careers of countless global stars, create indelible catch phrases, and consolidate the reputations of musical acts from Talking Heads to Kendrick Lamar. Since 1994, Pentagram partner Emily Oberman has been the steward of SNL’s graphic image, from the show’s iconic opening titles, to books celebrating its legacy. With each project, she meets the challenge of acknowledging the franchise’s extraordinary legacy while keeping its profile fresh, surprising, and funny.
