INFORMED REALISM ARCH 701B Studio Prof. PABLO LORENZO-EIROA

Blog-Video | Nov 13, 2021

An Informed Realism becomes active once survey is understood as an act of design. Questioning representation parameters in architecture, students address how computation can be understood as proto-architectural. From Big Data gathering, to emergent computation through simulation, to activating artificial intelligence (Data Science, Simulation, Machine Learning), to an augmented virtual reality, students are asked to develop ideas through specific computational thinking, learning and investigating through technology specific cultural problems.

Interview with FARAH JALIL by MSACT

Blog | Oct 29, 2021

Farah Jalil began her Master’s degree in Architecture, Computational Technologies, in the School of Architecture and Design, NYIT in Fall 2021. She also a received a Graduate Assistantship position in the program for Fall 2021, through which she has been assisting Professor Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa with communications and technical works. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, from BRAC University, Bangladesh. She has practiced architecture and urban design for three years in Dhaka, Bangladesh before coming to New York in pursuit of post-graduation studies. Her interest in technology and discovery of methodologies of design practices of the future is what brought her to the program.

GLOBAL FUTURES Lecture 2021 DONALD BATES, DANA CUFF, NEVILLE MARS, DR. MICHAEL WEINSTOCK

Blog | Oct 23, 2021

This event raises questions concerning the paradigms driving global urban development, within the ongoing transformations triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, and its potential enduring impact on urbanism. Cities and urban citizens worldwide have faced challenges as a result of lockdowns, restrictions on mobility across transnational networks, and the temporary exodus from cities of some of the privileged classes. This event will unpack issues of global wellbeing of the Anthropocene, the planet’s ecology, regionalism and locality, and the economic fallout of these intertwined crises. For several decades, architectural practice, research and education has championed an evolving model of globalization which has been synchronized with the flows of transnational investment and mobility. The years 2020 and 2021 have demonstrated how the paradigms of progress, growth and connectedness are at once on pause, evidenced by curtailed supply chains and global travel, and also accelerated, through the rapid advancement of information and communication technologies. Including participants based in China, Australia, Europe and the US, this event will interrogate how local and regional forces shape conceptions of culture and design practice in a series of distributed contexts.

INCLUSIVE DESIGN TRAJECTORIES 2021 Lecture SUCHI REDDY And MARIANA IBANEZ

Blog | Oct 14, 2021

The Fall lecture series at NYIT School of Architecture and Design, aims to facilitate discussion in the field of architecture, design and urbanism and its contribution to ecological, social, and built environments. Women in the field of architecture, interior and urban design bring a unique perspective necessary to design inclusive environments today. The lecture topic is framed around specific challenges confronting female practicing architects around the world. The panelist will discuss their personal experiences as they navigated the profession. They will bring unique perspectives given their non-western cultural and ethnic backgrounds and offer insight to finding opportunities within limitations they may have faced as immigrant practitioners working both in the U.S. and abroad. We will have the chance to gain insight into their design process, professional values, and how they find the balance between all different aspects of their professional and personal experiences. Panelists participating in this event have been invited to share their strategy for addressing a range of topics such as technology, the environment, material, and fabrication within the context of their collective experiences as female practicing professionals. They will address the design and entrepreneurship approach that has paved their career trajectories thus far.

Interview with Nelson Montas Laracuente by MSACT

Blog | Oct 08, 2021

The Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies Program - MS ACT at The New York Institute of Technology is inaugurating a series of short informative interviews with the people involved directly with the organization, teaching, development and formation of our new MS ACT Program. In this interview we included Nelson Montas Laracuente, the MS ACT ARCH 761 Computational Design Studio Workshop Guest Consultant, Prof. Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa. The course is currently working on a chair design through the Fall semester. Students learn how to design by visual algorithms via Rhinoceros Grasshopper and also learn how to program and code via Python, activating notions of data science (API) applied to computer science.

CULTURAL ASYMMETRIES OF PUBLIC SPACE 2021 Lecture JONAH ROWEN and CRAIG L.WILKINS

Blog-Video | Sep 29, 2021

LECTURE ABSTRACT: Recent history shows how public space can positively and negatively affect people from different ethnic and cultural groups. Urban areas as symbolic indicators can have high emotional registers and be simultaneously inviting or rejecting depending on the occupants. Discussions renew the debate of the multidimensionality of urban regimes concerning these asymmetries of urban space, especially in different minority groups. Making sense of these differences requires a multidimensional approach to envisioning urban design involving an understanding of the histories, the symbolism and effect of the attached emotional registers on different groups, and the presence of new voices in the imagination of public space. The aggregation of these ideas allows for a deeper insight into how conceptions of public space, urban visibility, and the addressing of public emotional registers in construction, oversight of, ownership of, and intersection with institutional racism. Departing from a preconception of equal access, the panel discusses collective rituals in streets, parks, and squares of city space and the design and management practices that should reflect various cultural experiences. The talk covers the need for designers and managers to know how places may be interpreted differently by different ethnic minority groups and work towards inclusive design.
