NYIT School of Architecture and Design (SoAD) has been invited to participate in the 17th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale from May 22 to November 21, 2021. The exhibition is curated by Hashim Sarkis, Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and conceived around the relevant question “How will we live together?”. Our faculty and student works—along with contributions from other researchers, architects and designers—are featured in the Italian Pavilion – Resilient Communities at the Tese delle Vergini in the Arsenale, sponsored and promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture, General Direction for Contemporary Creativity, and curated by Alessandro Melis, the school’s new IDC Foundation Endowed Chair. The school’s faculty are also exhibiting at the Korean Pavilion – Future School, curated by Hae-Won Shin and commissioned by the Arts Council Korea. Opening Event MAY 28, 2021 12:30 – 1:30 P.M. (ET) / 6:30 – 7:30 P.M. (CET)

“Designing Architectural Research” is an Exhibition to celebrate the launch of two new Master of Science programs in the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology. Conceived by Dean Maria Perbellini and supported by a Grant from the IDC Foundation, the Master of Science in Architecture, Health and Design, and the Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies have the ambition to immerse students in a transformative learning environment that advances new knowledge and innovation while blurring disciplinary boundaries and working across fields and expertise. The Exhibition, co-curated by Tom Verebes and Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa, is organized in two sections classified respectively as Computational Technologies and Health & Design. The motivation of this exhibition is to mobilize the design research agendas of the two M.S. programs through the experimental work of 24 invited contributors, 12 for each section, engaged with specialized interests at the forefront of architectural and design practices. A variety of design research approaches involves analytical and synthetic modes of investigation, in open, exploratory milieus. As such, this group exhibition gathers thinkers and makers who are reconsidering conventions at the frontiers of their disciplinary practices.
