Visiting instructors have included Raimund Abraham, Lise-Anne Couture, Odile Decq, Bill MacDonald, Jeffrey Kipnis, Norman Klein, Sulan Kolatan, Neil Leach, Brendan MacFarlane, Michael Maltzan, Monica Ponce de Leon, and Michele Saee.
Architect Raimund Abraham was the winner among 226 submissions in a competition held in 1992 to choose a design for the ACF’s new building. It is considered as an architectural anomaly because despite its small footprint it is 24 stories and 275 feet tall. The building’s facade is clad in glass and aluminum and gradually tapers to a narrow point as the building slants upwards. The structure is regarded as one of the most interesting architectural projects in recent New York history. It houses exhibition spaces, a theater, a library for books and audio recordings, offices, seminar and reception
