ASSOCIATE DEAN’S NOTE The sixth volume of Atmosphere celebrates the school’s continued growth and development and frames the breadth of inspired learning that spans the SoAD’s twelve design centered academic programs. The exemplary student projects presented in this publication were developed in the light of the fading global pandemic, and in the face of the emergent prospects of artificial intelligence enhanced learning and teaching. This document celebrates the unique creative spirit and continued evolution of our community’s proactive and intrepid embrace of discovery through focused inquiry. It is also evidence of the vibrant evolution of the interdisciplinarity and team-teaching learning model that defines our creative culture and diverse supportive community. The consistent shared engagement that sustains the collegial spirit across the school’s three departments continues to foster more focused commitment into optimizing life affirming imperatives and principles for enhancing our social, built and natural environments. The increased acceleration of cultural, technological, and environmental change urge the advancement of heightened design agencies and imperatives through algorithmic speculation, computational visualization scenarios and predeterminable outcomes.

Generative design practices, enhanced machine thinking and learning and cloud memory beckon our holistic contemplation to think forward, beyond our reflective present state of affairs, as we usher in new freshmen students and congratulate this year’s graduating class and endeavor to redefine our practices and approaches for envisioning the best of all possible future worlds.

INTRODUCTION

At New York Tech, we embrace the growing role technology plays in every facet of our lives, and we seek to leverage its potential as we reinvent the ways that architecture is practiced.

Architecture mediates between ourselves and the world around us - both in its physicality as shelter and social organizer, and in the ideas it evokes, as it reveals what is characteristic and unique about our priorities, our values and our humanity. Inevitably, our architectural heritage concretizes what Is essential about our culture, how we have invested and how we have taken care of our environment.

Our field of operation spans from the infrastructural elements of our region, communities and institutions, to those of individual dwellings and their components. The School of Architecture and Design’s forward-thinking, professional education prepares students for professional leadership and community engagement. Under the guidance of a faculty of experts, degree candidates learn to think critically about architecture, design, and the world around us and to approach their work with intelligence, confidence, and the rigor of practice. Fostering a dynamic studio culture is one of the keys to enable a productive, positive and inspiring learning environment. Diversity is the cornerstone of the student experience, where self-expression and diverse ideas and perspectives thrive.

Our studio-based education encourages productive collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and global citizenship.

Students gain hands-on experience and are equipped with skills to work collaboratively across disciplines, contributing to reshaping spatial, material, and cultural practices in the 21st century. Our international initiatives, travelling studios, study programs and outreach workshops are conducted around the globe, affording students immersive global and cultural experiences. This allows them to create unique portfolios of original works, and to make contacts in the region’s unparalleled networks in industry, the profession and in academia.

Located in Old Westbury, NY, and in midtown Manhattan, NYIT’s academic programs in Architecture + Design deliver technology-infused 21st-century design education, and guide our graduates from professional study to professional practice.

All NYIT SoAD degrees have STEM designation, making our international graduates eligible for the extended OPT visa.

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS Design Fundamentals are the foundational studio courses for incoming students in architecture and interior design. Each design exercise is a gift, presented to reveal new ways to observe and shape our environment. We draw to see, and we build to speak.

This communication is developed through rigorous acts of making, questioning, and remaking. We rely on the embodied knowledge within our hands to lead, until the head follows.

Fundamentals 1 and 2 are comprised of three related projects and share a common methodology. Each project is both analytical and generative. The first project is a formal spatial vocabulary. The second is temporal, a simple program derived from a ritual. The last project addresses the phenomenal and experiential.

Students create notational systems to clarify relationships and reduce information to the essential. These diagrams transpose scales and cross disciplines. They provide the dexterity to oscillate fluidly between the abstract and concrete.

Our primary objective in first year is to reveal space as a malleable medium. We build edges to limit and bound space, implicitly and explicitly. This may be done additively as we assemble and join components to capture space within. As a counter, this may be achieved through subtraction as we dig and carve to contain space.

The first semester introduces the ‘Joint’ as space, structure, and language. The primary means of construction is additive, a tectonic assembly. A solid wood joint is translated as an interlocking spatial joint. The joint is occupied as a domestic ritual qualifies a program and orientation.

The second semester introduces the ‘Vessel’ as space, structure, and metaphor. The primary means of construction is subtractive, a stereotomic excavation. A purist painting is translated as interlocking volumes of color. These volumes are realized as a Bathhouse carved into a wcliff site.

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS 1 The ELEMENTS project is a vocabulary of space and structure.

Fundamental design principles are introduced through solid void transformations. Three exercises build in scale from detail to site. ‘Wood Word Joints’ combine language and material. The joints are examined for conceptual and structural clarity. A word play operates each joint along x, y, and z. ‘A Volume of Joints’ combines the tectonic alliances established within a cube.

The joints are rescaled, reconfigured and transformed. The assembly is dense and puzzling. ‘Out of Joint’ aerates the solid state. The joints are dislocated and extended. This expanded field is an abstract site.

The ENCLOSURE project shelters the body within and from the elements. Rituals of inhabitation and contemplation are measured and mapped. A perimeter membrane defines the spatial character of two rooms, directed to sky and horizon. ‘Up and Down Bodies’ choreograph ritual as space. Zones and implied boundaries are generated from the activities. A surface is inscribed to receive the bodies. A ‘Second Skin’ houses each performance space. The body is nested and aligned to the sky and horizon. This lightweight membrane defines the bounds and limits of interior space. A ‘Porous Skin’ modulates the passage of light, air, and water. Openings and apertures create thresholds for entry and view. Solar path and orientation determine edge qualities. ‘Above and Below Rooms’ position and support the interiors within the site. The rooms are oriented relative to the horizon and established site datum. The connection to the sky and horizon is reinforced visually and spatially.

The PASSAGE project bridges the earth and sky. A spatial itinerary navigates varying spatial and phenomenal conditions.

A stair elevates the body and narrative. ‘In a Moment’ locates spatial and temporal thresholds between the rooms and the site.

Points of arrival, contact and departure are established for the body and sun. A Bridge connects the two rooms structurally and spatially. Tectonic relationships and interdependencies are clarified. A ‘Gait’ modulates the ascending and descending body.

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS 2 The FLEETING VESSELS are merging and immerging volumes of light and color. They come and go, flickering between object and background.

Myth and form unfold within the ambiguous depth. ‘Delamination’ unsettles a still life. A cubist painting is separated into layers, revealing implied figures and fields of color. Sets of form and color, central and peripheral, are assembled. ‘Character Development’ sponsors transformation and growth of the figures. They speak in volumes, some round, while others remain flat. Positions reflect temperature and temperament. ‘Switch and Script’ situate the forms within three scenes. In a reversal of character, solids are voided, extroverts become introverted.

This vacation resolves conflicts as fluidly intersecting spaces. ‘A turn of events’ is the phenomenal transformation within each scene. The volumes mix as light bounces and colors reflect.

The FLUID VESSELS are immersing bodies of water, light, and people.

Rituals of bathing qualify primary programs. Water into water. ‘A thick skin’ filters light to transform spatial character. Sunlight is shaped within the depth as the solar angle rises and recedes. ‘Exfoliation’ and aeration reduce the profile. ‘Add water’ pours the body and program into the vessels. Spaces are quantified and qualified by temperature and activity.

‘Through thick and thin’ establish degrees of enclosure. Apertures and skins mediate the exposure of light and color. ‘A thin skin’ nests within the carved volumes, tectonic within stereotomic. ‘A heavy alight’ calibrates the arrival and departure of all bodies. The ritual passage of bodies, light and water is choregraphed.

The SUNKEN VESSELS are a bath house for travelers, submerged within the earth. Excavation and carving create inhabitable spaces underground. An itinerary navigates varying spatial and phenomenal conditions. ‘Anchor site’ orients the fluid vessels to earth and sky, a cliff site, and the solar path. The spaces are located at various depths along the river and within the solid earth. The plateau and sea level are datum.‘Stir’ induces circulation within the excavated volumes.

Spaces and programs are prioritized and arranged to flow sequentially.

‘Embarking’ addresses thresholds of arrival and departure. ‘Bridging’ further details connections and links. Color and material define unique spatial qualities.

CORE ARCHITECTURE STUDIOS Coursework in the Bachelor of Architecture program (B.Arch) fosters learning through doing, and design studios as the laboratories where other experiences from coursework and from life, are integrated in experimental and innovative ways enhancing critical thinking. Our rigorous studio sequence reflects the range of issues confronted in professional practice, progressing from extra-small to extra-large projects, from more abstract and fundamental compositional problems in the first year, to more realistic, complex, and comprehensive ones while they proceed, with the integration of complexity of structure, programs, user, and of technical and site parameters. The overall scope is to build an academic and professional expertise that enable students to decode, understand, represent, and proactively design more just, sustainable, and resilient environments (built and natural).

Second-year coursework challenges students to design projects with conceptual clarity while integrating increasingly plausible issues of uses, site, and construction. Design I and II studios build from analysis of canonical precedents to design synthesis, critically engaging the issues of architectural typology, topology, site specificity, technique, structure, social and programmatic issues.

Small to medium sized public building types are proposed in relation to existing building and site conditions. Techniques of precedent analysis are introduced as essential research vehicles.

The third-year studio is a more thorough introduction to architecture in the public and private realms. Design III is devoted to housing, and Design IV, to the design of a mid-sized public institutional building. Accompanied by precedent analysis projects of greater scope and detail, the 3rd year studio explores issues of occupancy, use and site with increasingly realistic constructional, environmental and regulatory issues, and with an emphasis on climate strategies for daylight and ventilation (passive systems) and with respect to the larger social and physical contexts for which projects are proposed.

The fourth-year studios focus on Comprehensive Design and urban scale Community Design. The Comprehensive Design Studio is our closest simulation of an architectural project in a professional setting. Students are challenged with all aspects of design, from the conceptual to the technical, from feasibility models and drawings to detailed representative wall sections, construction solutions, integrated building systems (active and passive) and draft specifications. Each academic year, the Community Design Studio adopts a local community with pressing development needs – from ones of recovery from extreme weather events like hurricane Sandy, to those of deindustrialization, environmental remediation or poor access to transportation infrastructure. Proposals are developed in student teams, with consultation and feedback from members of the subject communities and from local and international experts in the involved fields of operation.

The fifth-year studio requires students to select a study topic for Design VII and VIII studios. Design VII is organized around research, documentation of the concepts, the background, the site and the available data surrounding the topic, and framing an architectural problem to be investigated during Design VIII. Travel to the subject site is encouraged. The topic’s opportunities and limitations are assessed, including those of its intended site (zoning, climate, physical context, topography, etc.). Preliminary proposals are executed. Topics range from ones at the scale of individual buildings or their components to those of urban and territorial regeneration within extended regional landscapes. Design VIII is devoted to design and execution of project proposals, often accompanied by a publication in book form. This capstone course allows students to practice the concepts and skills they have been acquiring during their previous years of study, and to pursue a topical specialization uniquely interesting to them and which be crucial in proceeding with their professional and/or academic learning path.

DESIGN STUDIO 1 Design I builds up on the ability to critically read, understand and decode architecture, starting with an architectural comparative analysis. Design I develops an understanding of an architectural idea in relation to a problem of computer representation. Design I departs from a critical parametric construction of a nine square grid problem (John Hejduk, 1954), understanding the function and topological possibilities of the various architecture elements that compose a grid-based system. Design I critiques the various components of a system, such as an original typology through topological degree displacements. These displacements are used to study and activate clear subject-object relationships, circulation, organizational strategies, and program, defining the space of an unhouse dwelling for a dynamic contemporary social group.

Design I studies systems and architectural elements in parallel to other courses such as history/theory, building constructions and statics-structures (space-frame), understanding the architecture of construction types in relation to structure and their possible topological displacements. Design I builds up a critical understanding of site specificity as an extension of the architecture process.

Both Design I and II studios of Second Year develop processes from analysis to synthesis: requiring students to understand an architectural problem and to address design solutions from a historical-theoretical perspective in the discipline that engage with the issues discussed.

The Fall Semester Studio develops a dwelling or an “un-house”, a single design project, aiming to address a contemporary notion of domesticity at the scale of a dynamic social structure. This design was based on problems of computer representation which were developed through problems of program, site specificity and information materialization and digital fabrication.

DESIGN STUDIO 2 Design 2 departs from a dialectical opposition to the Fall semester curriculum but is understood as a continuous critical project articulating both semesters through thesis-antithesis.

The concepts and skills learned in the previous semester based on displacing a deterministic grid through parametric variations in a private residential program, is opposed by departing from an existing site-specific intervention (Rosalind Krauss, 1970) resulting in a public cultural program in Central Park, New York City.

The studio departs from analyzing an existing site, its complex topography, its logic and addressing an intervention that deals with the interpretative reading of these conditions as architecture. Site-specific interventions emerged from reading site conditions and relationships and by specifically analyzing the tension between the topography/paths, tunnels and bridges designs, proportions, and relationships in Olmstead’s Central Park.

Students developed initial interventions by activating latent topological relationships, understanding form as structure through concepts of stability in surfaces, such as catenary forces and structural concepts, experimentation with physical models and computer simulations. Students first developed a measurement of the territory and then a reconstruction of the site, basing their readings as surveys, and as first acts of design. Students then expanded these readings developing latent topologies through digital surface-continuity indexing the site through progressive understandings of site-specificity, the ground as site, ground as inhabitable surface (Kurt Forster, 2004), ground surface as topology, topology as structure (shell structure), and topology as space-environment. The studio worked in parallel to courses in building constructions and structures activating in studio an evidence-based design methodology through form as structure. The program consisted of a Public Museum for Central Park displaying artwork, maps, drawings of the park and including permanent and temporary exhibition spaces.

DESIGN STUDIO 3 The Third Year Studios, Design III and IV are seen as interrelated in terms of a dialectic theme of public and private.

Design III, ARCH 301, was devoted to the design of the dwelling, which is considered the private realm in the city or community. Design IV, ARCH 302, was devoted to a public cultural or institutional building that investigated shared social, cultural and political values in our society. A second objective in ARCH 302, was to introduce the comprehensive nature of architectural design in the pedagogical sequence of studios.

Each semester focuses on the design of a project with phases that progress from analysis to synthesis, limited objective to complex wholistic solution and schematic design to design development. The intention was to develop comprehensive design solutions that critically engage multiple considerations of socio-cultural meaning, form, program, construction and environmental ecology. The studios engage related historical precedent, social and environmental concerns and technological resolution in built form.

This year in Design III, the housing studios designed a multiple dwelling building on a corner site in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The program included a mixture of units from studios to three bedroom units in terms of complex groupings and included the design of common shared or community space as well as exterior open landscaped space as gardens, within the building or on the roof. Structural designs were required as well as the technical design of the building envelopes and facades. Ecological issues of building orientation - sun and shade, and rain water collection were pursued.

DESIGN STUDIO 4 The Design IV spring semester studios studied a Community Center in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. Not far from the site of the ARCH 301 Housing Studio, the site was situated in a high-rise modern housing project to consider how this community facility could help integrate these types of housing projects into the low rise, town house, street scape context of the neighborhood. The designs were to address the significance of the role that built form plays in the manifestation of social, cultural and political values in our institutions, as well as how the designed architectural environment relates to the creation of community in a neighborhood. An important issue was to investigate creating an image of the institutions in the urban realm that is made of a hierarchy of significant images. The community centers large spaces of a multi-use forum, theater and gymnasium were to serve common needs and help create a sense of community with places to meet, achieved through the creation of inventive, useful and meaningful space. To address an integrated and comprehensive design, the studio was scheduled to achieve a schematic design by midterm and then pursue design development through concerns for structure, materials, facades, building envelope, interior spaces and ecological issues of sustainability.

DESIGN STUDIO 5 Design Studio V is the second comprehensive design studio in our curriculum. During the previous year, the students learn about designing a public building in a relatively small urban site developing a complete set of documents to describe their designs, focusing on adapting passive sustainability principles. Following this experience, Design V intensifies this by employing both passive and active sustainability concepts with building heating and cooling systems that minimize the use of energy and water in their buildings, as well as the use of sustainable materials, landscaping, and other regional climatic conditions. Given this definition, this semester involves a comprehensive analysis and research process that evaluates topology, typology, tectonics, technics, and thermodynamics coordinated in quantifiable and objective design decisions. Aesthetic concepts derive from a clear understanding of sustainability and the systems developed after the design research process.

During the Fall 2021 semester, the students were given a post-industrial site along the East River to design a Visitors Center and Gallery for the Socrates Sculpture Park. The program involved indoor and outdoor public areas allowing the students to work with site contours and sustainable landscaping concepts in the placement of their relatively small public building on this site. Student’s work is evaluated using US Green Building Council Criteria (USGBC) and expected to conform with a minimum of ‘Silver” rating.

DESIGN STUDIO 6 Design Studio VI focuses on the complex relationship of issues impacting architectural and urban design. Our host city, New York City, and its surrounding greater urban region, serve as a laboratory for questioning the status quo of contemporary urban issues, and for projecting towards future conditions and configurations of urbanism. This semester was organized as a series of six diverse Topical Studios, each focusing on a specific approach to the city, with their respective scales and sites. Methodologies across six studios ranged from applications of urban data analytics, participatory approaches to negotiating the interests of stakeholders, computational design processes, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate spaces from image databases.

The briefs of the Topical Studios included: Restitching and serving local neighborhoods in the Bronx by capping the Expressway by creating a series of urban design sites; Diverse Community and Neighborhood scale interventions in Jackson Heights, Queens; Affordable housing models across the Hudson River in New York and New Jersey; Developing models for the coexistence of urban and ecological fabrics in Jamaica Bay; Megaform Urbanism on Roosevelt Island involving the adaptive re-use of a 1970s megastructural parking structure; And proposals for networks of design interventions across the New York Archipelago. All studios had participated in a Year 4 Colloquium, in which all students presented to students and faculty in other studios, sharing the specificities of the methods and preliminary outcomes of their team-based projects.

PROJECT INTEGRATION STUDIO

THESIS STUDIOS The architectural thesis is the capstone course of the B.ARCH program at NYIT. It summarizes and demonstrates the competencies required for this first Professional Degree. A thesis is a project with a proposition that contains a theory, “a supposition or speculation put forward to explain something”; “an exposition of general principles as distinct from practice or execution.” (Oxford English Dictionary). For architecture students the thesis year involves transforming theories and collected information into the design of cities, buildings and their components re-thinking their diverse environments —speculating through Architecture. This goes beyond just solving the problem of program and site, to the historical, social, cultural, and ideological meanings of the topic, to envision a better and more sustainable future for all. This aims to improve their ability as students/researchers, then as professionals, in understanding, analyzing, and representing the complexity of our contexts, to proactively, creatively, and critically operate within the diverse field of Architecture and in response to crucial issues that involves our complex environments.

The two-semester Thesis studio requires independent work and responsibility on the part of the student. While the First Semester (Des VII) will be focused on multidisciplinary research, collection of data/information, and production of analytical material to clearly and consistently formulate and communicate the hypothesis involved towards the definition of an original and specific theoretical core of the thesis; the Second Semester (Des VIII) will explore the potentials of the Thesis and verify these through an integrated design proposal at Territorial, Metropolitan, Urban and Local scale, which will translate the theoretical topic of each individual research in integrated environmental systems and new urban morphologies. The professors for the studios are thesis advisors.

Each section elaborates a specific approach to the main topic shared within the studio, as described in the studio outlines.

Beyond fulfilling the requirements for their section, it is the responsibility of each student to demonstrate the validity, competency, and completeness of their project to the thesis faculty and to the invited guests during open reviews as a whole in order to successfully complete the studio. Therefore, each student will be responsible for the production of an individual Thesis Book of research, which will document the theoretical approach of the thesis, and selectively collect and consolidate the several investigations related to the topic and site, with their broader references and potential.

In Design 7 students are expected to develop their projects through invention and research. The research component of the thesis year is an important demonstration of skills required for the professional degree, as specified by NAAB criteria: Design Thinking, Investigative Skills, Use of Precedent, Pre-Design, and Research. Research should examine the history and theory of topics related to the thesis proposal: Humanistic Discourse, Space, Poetics, Program, Site, Structure, and Construction, Social and Environmental Sustainability. The conclusions of that research should be part of the final presentation. By the end of Design 7 a clear thesis statement, thorough research, and the presentation of a complete thesis idea must be established, coherently demonstrated, and included in the first stage of the individual outline of a design proposal and included in the research book.

In Design 8 students develop and complete the project to a resolution appropriate to the nature and scale of the thesis proposal and represented/communicated through diverse and experimental analog and digital media. This is also included in

the final individual thesis book of the research, concluded and submitted prior to the final review. Each student must establish the goals of the thesis with her/his advisor. A successful project will achieve these goals. It will also demonstrate the student’s skills as a critical thinker and responsible designer, and ideally, become the most sophisticated and substantial achievement of her/his student’s work. This will be included in the final version of the thesis research book and validated by a consistent design production (boards, models, etc.).

INTERIORS

The main thesis topic across all the sections for the year 2020-21 is “ARCHITECTURE AS CAREGIVER” which is understood and open to be interpreted from the scale of the architecture component/s and of the building, to one of the neighborhoods and urban areas, to the whole city and its territory. This also moves critically and comprehensively from history and theory integrated proactively into new visions, to compositional design, technologies, and experimental studies, with a specific interest in sustainability and resiliency.

TECHNOLOGY

The methodology for this section places an emphasis on how parameters of climate, construction, and material define the making of a piece of architecture, both in form and in detail. By making we are interested in how these parameters control and define both the broad decisions and the specific details behind implementation and expression of a construction system in a building.

The development of the details of the building will always manifest themselves in constructive layers that are inherent in all constructive systems - Bearing, Insulation, Protection + Finish. Furthermore, each of these layers must always relate to a specific condition between the environment and the building - Foundation, Wall, Roof. The complexity of these interactions makes the resolution of even a simple building a challenging task of coordination and synchronization between the demands of Function, Constructability & Aesthetics.

It will quickly become apparent that there are many more constructive possibilities than can be taught in a five-year curriculum, let alone a two-course sequence. What is more interesting and helpful for you is to learn a methodology for dealing with the variety of constructive situations students face. This method will present a way of designing and detailing simultaneously, which means the characteristics of the various construction types will reference a larger strategy of organization, an organization that operates at every scale of the building and the site.

264

Building Construction I and II introduces students to building construction and materials, and their interrelationship with the environment, with the goal of introducing you to a more holistic conception of architecture. While initial architectural concepts may involve understanding construction and material in spatial or formal terms, the making of architecture is defined by parameters from the climate, the wsite, and the efficiency and logic of the systems used. Construction and material can reciprocally inform a design concept and enrich its ultimate potential. These courses are to be understood as parallel and integrated with the studio experience. Just as it is expected that issues of sustainability and construction manifest themselves within your studio projects, it is also expected that issues of form and space manifest themselves in the building construction course. Structure and material are not to be applied, either conceptually or literally, to architecture: they are inherent in every line you draw, just as they should be inherent in every work of architecture you create.

Environmental Systems I and II are concerned with the simple but profound fact that all inhabited buildings separate the world into two climatic zones: inside and outside. The climate of the “outside” is defined by natural forces we typically call “weather”, while the climate of the “inside” is based on human comfort. Collectively, the strategies, spaces, assemblies, and machines that maintain a fairly constant indoor climate in the face of a dynamic outdoor climate are called “environmental systems”.

Ashley Drawdy, Luke Stefancik and Hailey Varca Professor John Doria Spring 2022 265

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 1 Building Construction I introduces students to architecture from a technological point of view. An architecture of technology will become active through building construction systems based on materials. Through the curation of the courses, issues of efficiency, environmental footprint and a wide range of interrelationships with the environment will become a common means to approach architecture, with the goal of introducing students to a more holistic conception of architecture and sustainability.

Building Construction I will study material-based building construction systems based on wood and masonry. The architecture project’s organization, its structure and materiality are not to be applied to an abstract formal idea, but they are thought as inherent to the syntactical form of the development of the project. The logic of the various construction types will reference design strategies for architecture organizations and linguistic expressions.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 2 Building Construction II will study material-based building construction systems based on steel, glass and concrete.

Continuing with the construction sequence and its fundamental concepts and technical methodologies laid out in Building Construction I, students are asked to consider their projects through a material tectonic and a building construction system. By understanding first the logic of a specific material, its industry proportions and properties, its possibilities, characteristics and performance, students will start addressing the material based construction systems, its components, assembly, interrelationships and overall systemic logic and design possibilities.

These explorations include detailed digital models, revealing and aiming to explore the possibilities of the construction system, but also exploring the limits in the ranges, for instance applying conventional solutions first, but then systematizing its understanding more efficiently and in relation to the structure of the building, exploring alternative solutions to known conventions, exploring systematic variations of found architecture potential within the construction system.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS 1 Through a combination of theoretical seminars and practical design assignments, Environmental Systems I introduces students to a variety of passive strategies for harnessing site resources such as sun, wind, topography, and built context in order to light, heat, cool, and ventilate their projects. Over a series of sequential exercises utilizing a range of tools including both physical models and computer simulation, form takes shape through an iterative conversation with quantified performance as students develop, document, and compare two low energy architectural projects, each with the same program but sited in a different climate.

Through a series of assignments, the students learn the theory, components, and heuristics for sizing and laying out a variety of technical building systems. The exercises help them to understand their design projects in a new way, integrating both passive and active strategies symbiotically into one unified, integrated approach to design.

VISUALIZATION The Visualization sequence curriculum supports primarily the process of translating ideas into visual and representational formats that foster the transition from the mind-hand to the computer and vice-versa and to develop a critical approach to this generative process. It is designed to accompany and support the design studio sequence. It provides tools to enhance our awareness of the coordination of eye, mind, and hand, both to better understand how we see and to better document our ideas. The three visualization courses seek to position themselves within an academic and professional environment of constantly changing design tools, representational methods, and technologies. Through the careful introduction of appropriate tools and methodologies, these courses are meant to equip students with a digital and analog framework that supports fluidity in the process and reinforcement of the benefits and value of each through an exchange and overlap.

Visualization I is the introductory representation course for Interior Design and Architecture Majors. It is the first in a series of courses that impart the concepts and skills of visual communication necessary to explore and practice these two related fields. The course aims at exposing the students to the understanding of architecture as a discipline and practice through a variety of inputs to support the students’ critical process of understanding architecture and its expanded field. Students learn how we can transfer ‘what we see’ and ‘what we think’ into different visualization formats, and more importantly, how we can record our thoughts and inform design processes through iterative explorations. The course serves as an introduction to computer-aided design and other applications for visual communication and representation.

Visualization II intends to develop generative modeling abilities and explore strategies to imagine spatial, tectonic, and stereotomic conditions digitally. Investigations are nurtured by issues and tasks related to the application and use of more advanced computational tools and information technologies to foster experimentation, iterative processes and generative design thinking. Much like skills introduced in Visualization I, the exercises offer not only new tools for visual communication and representation but also new methodologies for design and abstraction. The course provides new tools to enhance further the ability to explore and improve visual communicati¬¬on skills, as well as their generative approach to design.

Visualization III provides skills for more advanced computational tools and digital fabrication techniques and tectonics. More advanced platforms of investigation of computational technologies in design are offered to students as a format to get them exposed to the interchangeability between platforms and modes of operation. Students are exposed to the feedback loop between design and making, generative protocols, and coding. A discussion of the way in which emerging technologies are affecting contemporary practice and process act as a theoretical underpinning to all exercises.

Visualization I and Visualization II are designed to support the curriculum, methodologies, and projects developed in AAID 101- Design Fundamentals 1 and AAID 102Design Fundamentals 2, by exposing students to means of communicating and representing their studio work.

VISUALIZATION 1 Visualization I is the introductory course of the Visualization sequence. It is the first in a series of courses that impart the concepts and skills of visual thinking and communication necessary to explore how methods and tools for seeing, representing, and visualizing can inform architectural thinking and design methods. The class explores how free-hand drawings, orthographic projections, composite and hybrid drawing techniques, and modes of two and three-dimensional translation applied to making and diagramming are used not only to represent but also as important components in the generative design process.

The course aims at exposing the students to the understanding of architecture as a discipline and practice through a variety of input, including lectures and readings to support the students’ critical process of understanding architecture and its expanded field. Students learn how to transfer ‘what we see’ and ‘what we think’ into different visualization formats, and more importantly, how to record our thoughts and inform design processes through iterative explorations. Students begin with free-hand sketching, observational, and projected drawings to then be introduced to concepts of transferability between analog and digital platforms.

The use of digital applications in Visualization 1 is introduced to support primarily the process of translating ideas into visual formats that foster the transition from the mind-hand to the computer and vice-versa and to develop a critical approach to this creative and generative process. This course has been designed to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technologies to support the design studio sequence. Students are introduced to computer software and plug-ins, which allow them to support their 2D and 3D development of the work.

VISUALIZATION 2 In Visualization II, students apply the course’s digital knowledge and tools in their design studio projects to foster cross-integration of processes, skills, and critical thinking between the two courses, while exploring means of rendering their work with a focus on light and materiality.

The course provides new tools to enhance further the ability to explore and improve visual communication skills, as well as generative approaches to design and critical thinking. As part of the new visualization curriculum sequence, the course builds upon the skills learned in the first part of the visualization course, while laying the ground for new tools and techniques. The course aims to develop generative modeling abilities and explore strategies to imagine spatial and stereotomic conditions digitally. The investigations are nurtured by issues and tasks related to the application and use of computational tools and information technologies to foster experimentation, iterative processes, and generative design thinking.

Visualization III is designed to develop the ability to model spatial, tectonic, and performative conditions digitally. The first part of the course is dedicated to support and expand students’ proficiency and skills with previous software used in Visualization 1 & 2. The course continues with the exploration of tools that aid in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional representation, graphic styles, and hybrid methods.

HISTORY and THEORY In architectural history and theory education at New York Tech, the program pursues these four objectives.

A comprehensive geographical and anthropological approach

Equity and inclusion

Students should develop more balanced views on the architecture and urbanism of the world. Students are expected to learn architecture and urbanism of Asia, Arab, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania as well as Europe and North America.

Students are expected to learn the built environments and cultures of previously underappreciated regions and peoples.

Civil rights and spatial rights are inseparably connected.

As such, our curriculum considers issues of race, gender, disability, and political and social disparity in power in relation to architectural historiography and urban space. Theoretical issues surrounding the body and its relationship to technology and public space are explored as well.

Towards relationships rather than islands

Open-minded inquiry and criticality

Students learn how to appreciate human settlements and structures in their historical and cultural complexity. A city or building is viewed as part of the network of diverse influences.

These can be social, cultural, economic, and/or religious factors. Interactions between different empires, regions, and nations are carefully examined in the appreciation of a site or building. Students learn to observe a historic site or building through the relationships that define it.

Students learn to formulate questions about architectural and urban issues with open-mindedness. Rather than following established doctrines, students approach the issues at hand through open questions. It is the reason we aim at keeping an interactive learning environment. With classroom instruction and discussion, we aim to help students recognize historical and theoretical issues, unbiasedly and critically.

INTERIOR DESIGN The Interior Design Department at NYIT SoAD is a Council for Interior Design (CIDA) accredited program educating students for lifelong engagement in interior environments and its supporting disciplines. The department follows a multidisciplinary approach fostering collaboration in areas of product, furniture, lighting design and beyond.

More than completing credit requirements for their Interior Design BFA or BFA + MBA track degrees, students are exposed to several leadership opportunities that serve as platform to sharpen their leadership and community engagement skills.

Students contribute to SoAD community by holding positions in student and professional organizations.

Students admitted to SoAD Interior Design are mentored through a rigorous curriculum. First year students are introduced to fundamentals of design through a series of analytical and experimental exercises. They explore spatial conditions, color, shape, and light blending design, studio visualization, history, theory, and liberal arts courses that provide a solid foundation to critical thinking and practical skills. Sophomore and Junior year students venture into strategically positioned design projects meant to emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration. The material discovery course explores healthy, innovative materials to stimulate a new design approach leading to improving health conditions and sustainable environments. As they enter senior year, BFA Interior Design students engage in research-based thesis studios that allow focused interest to materialize and emerge as proposals for inhabitable environments. Projects addressing spatial justice, celebration of heritage, or response to past or emerging global crisis. In addition to BFA Interior Design, the department collaborates with NYIT School of Management to offer students a unique opportunity for an accelerated path into a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Undergraduate junior students can take graduate level courses that can be applied to a yearlong MBA program. Admitted students can graduate with a BFA and MBA degree that prepares them for entrepreneurship skills essential for emerging designers.

The design skills and knowledge acquired at SoAD Interior Design department enables students to receive prestigious national recognitions such as the Angelo Donghia foundation scholarship, the Metropolis Future 100 award, and most recently the prestigious John J. Nelson Sr. Legacy Scholarship Fund. The award is granted by the International Interior Design Association to celebrate excellence and diversity in the field of architecture and design.

M. ARCH The M.Arch curriculum is an intense and focused series of courses that help students develop fluency with the technologies now transforming the future of architectural practice. As the building professions increasingly focus on specialized processes, the role of architects will be to provide the critical skills to contribute to, and the perspective to lead interdisciplinary teams in realizing built projects. We believe that the future belongs to the innovative teams and leaders who create leading-edge, sustainable architecture, flourishing communities, and resilient cities.

Two paths lead to the professional Master of Architecture degree. Beginning at the 600-level, the M.Arch. Track I, serves students with undergraduate degrees in other fields, and new to architectural studies. Beginning at the 700 level, the M.Arch. Track II serves students with a 4-year, pre-professional degree in Architecture or Architectural Technology.

600-level coursework is an accelerated introduction to the anatomy of architecture and focuses on the conceptual and technical skills upon which to build an architectural education. ARCH 601 introduces a model of architecture as a series of nested volumes where the innermost provides the surfaces and materials for human activity, and the outermost responds to environmental dynamics as they impact transmission of light, moisture, temperature, etc., and with the fixed elements of adjacent structures and topography. Intermediate layers are investigated in subsequent studios as students assimilate knowledge about technical and environmental systems.

FACULTY David Diamond Marcus Carter Jan Greben Kris Levine

Manuel Garza John Defazio Robert Cody Marcella Del Signore

ARCH 602 begins with a deep analysis of canonical buildings, using structure as a model of both organization and material logic that underpin architectural language. Structures are tested for their coherence as systems, and for their load bearing properties. These systems are further tested against topological and topographic conditions, where the design process plays out as a series of displacements and negotiations between competing systems and agendas.

700-level coursework further develops themes relating to architectural anatomy, with a particular focus on building skins and systems of enclosure, with attention to architectural performance and the integration of technology, with an expanded range of material and tectonic systems. Studio ARCH 705 focuses on integrative design, developing projects of increasing complex anatomy. Both tracks share coursework at the 700-level and above.

800-level coursework is research-based and devoted to experimental, topical areas of focus in Environmental Urbanism, Digital Design + Fabrication, and Advanced Architectural Technology. Ad-hoc research and design workshops, some international, allow us to engage contemporary issues with internationally renowned experts.

MS.AUD The exponential growth of cities globally, in conjunction with expanding social and ecological challenges and the increasing impact of applied technologies, demands a renewed understanding of the expanded territory of intervention in close relationship to the multi-layered urban conditions. With the current set of crises, we have the responsibility to open to new paths that rely more on being aware of the co-dependency of systems to establish a more holistic vision of how we inhabit spaces, cities, and the whole planet. By investigating the micro-to-macro continuum, agencies can be explored to uncover latent and potential relationships to foster design scenarios that embrace interscalar processes to rethink the built environment. These privilege transdisciplinary forms of inquiry and embrace the ability to work across scale, time, narratives, and agencies.

The MS.AUD is a program at the forefront of urban design research focused on issues of urbanization through the exploration of social, cultural, technological, and environmental domains. The program focuses on three main areas to project scenarios for future visions: Technology + Digital Practices, Climate Resilience + Ecology, and Socio + Cultural aspects of Cities. Students critically respond to pressing issues through interdisciplinary pedagogical platforms, collaborative projects, and direct engagement with stakeholders and communities.

The MS.AUD program offers a set of horizontally integrated courses with a focus on advanced design studios that are at the core of urban design research and applied knowledge.

Three types of seminars support and expand the critical work developed through the curriculum: applied methods, history/

theory courses, and elective seminars. The innovative and critical perspective is offered through design opportunities where students are asked to respond to critical urban issues through the integration of interscalar forms of urbanization: urban, metropolitan, regional, and global.

The program aims to connect students with communities, organizations, institutions, and stakeholders both locally and globally and develop a global perspective on urbanism through international travel and project work. The MS.AUD offers a platform for students and faculty research through the curriculum and outreach initiatives. Design and research-driven studios are the catalysts to foster innovative applied research. The research is also connected to faculty engagement with a set of initiatives proposed within the program that aim to connect the students with critical topics in urbanism and with a network of international researchers and institutions.

Urban Design as a discipline is inherently multi-disciplinary, and the MS.AUD program is committed to providing advanced knowledge and applied design methods to reflect on the future of cities by reshaping the ecological, technological, and socio-cultural domains to explore critically 21st-century challenges and opportunities.

MS.AHD The Master of Science program, Architecture - Health and Design at the School of Architecture and Design, NYIT, is a transdisciplinary platform for students and experts to collaborate in research on inclusive design and purpose driven projects that investigate the impact of design on health and healthcare.

The program invites students to imagine how we can move from a traditionally narrow definition of healthcare to a broader understanding of the factors that determine an individual’s health. Approaching health as an ecosystem, we explore new research territories for health and design by questioning disciplinary practices, un-learning processes and overcoming stuck mindsets. We discover modes that build a student’s future agency in creating healthy environments, which are becoming preventive and therapeutic. We want to empower people to improve their lived experiences through design.

Health is understood as an expanding cross disciplinary field. We encourage collaborations with scholars and industry experts from engineering, health sciences, materials science, business, and natural and social sciences. We believe that only as a diverse and inclusive team we can address health from both a systemic and an embodied perspective, targeting aspects ranging from the global environmental crisis to mental and physical disabilities. Creative material and technological solutions span urban to social strategies, transformative spaces, health-tech wearables and product designs.

The MS.AHD courses and seminars, intended as a supportive framework around two linked design studios, develop knowledge and build skills in emerging technologies, contextual inquiry, building performance modeling, digital fabrication with biomaterials, adaptive and programmable materials, sensors and interaction, digital and analog computation, customized 3d printing methods, robotic automation, VR/AR, UX/ UI, medical SIM lab experiences, history, theory and explore methods of data collection and analysis,.

The first design studio engages students, faculty and professionals in creative research exploring the health ecosystem. The second design studio integrates prior learning and insights on health triggers and turns them into design prototypes and spaces of various scales.

Both core design studios are based on an open design platform that serves to integrate broader human experiences from social or cultural data, behavioral insights, environmental data, or sensor data with the goal to improve the health of specific groups in need.

With global underserved communities in mind and using New York or Arkansas Campuses as its main laboratory, a human centered design approach, guided by principles of design thinking, resolves most pressing issues impacting communities today.

MS.AHD PROGRAM

10 MS.ACT

The Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies (MS-ACT) focuses on advancing architecture design through innovation in computer-based representation and fabrication: from Big Data to Artificial Intelligence. In the context of new technologies rapidly challenging cultural models, the program reformulates the typical relationships between technology and culture. The MS-ACT program expands design authorship to the parameters informing design may lead to paradigmatic transitions towards new forms of architecture.

Through full-scale applied research, the program intends to critically integrate the history and theory of representation, computation, and technologies and in relation to architecture history and theory expanding conventional aesthetic design agendas. The program critically revises architectural history, and theorizes new possibilities for architecture through advancements in both computation and fabrication.

The program’s objectives are to develop innovation in emerging technologies, such as computational design systems of representation, interactive robotic systems, and robotic systems for construction including new materials to activate at full scale, new space-environments, including virtual and physical augmented reality.

The program expands the field through applied research integration within various domains including architecture, ecology, design, data science, computer science, engineering, material science, and other fields of knowledge. Students in the MS-ACT program study these issues in design studios, labs/ workshop, and courses activating evidence-based design.

ANIMATION & FILM FESTIVAL

The Animation and film festival is a traditional yearly event that the Digital Arts Department, in cooperation with the Communication Arts Department, has organized since 2014. This event celebrates and encourages students’ best work and has served to promote our department. It has been a valuable tool for recruiting students and increasing our visibility. Further, it inspires our students and faculty to reach new heights every year.

Creating animations is a long process. Some of these works are done within a semester, and others have taken far longer. It has been amazing to see the wide array of styles and techniques that underlie the value we place on encouraging individualism and personal expression in art, in addition to learning the software.

494

Before the pandemic, the festival was organized every May at our Broadway location. During the pandemic, we managed to organize rather successful online festivals. In the past couple of years both premiered online, which online presentation has been established far better than in previous years. Below are two links to the festivals. https://www.nyit.edu/arts_and_sciences/animation_film_ festival https://www.nyit.edu/arts_and_sciences/2020_animation_ and_film_festival_awards Organizers of the event: Anila Jaho, Andre Doughty

TEATRO GRATTACIELO’S GIULIETTA E ROMEO On June 4 and 5, New York Tech students, faculty, and staff joined in the production of Teatro Grattacielo’s Giulietta e Romeo in Battery Park City’s Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park. The outdoor operatic performance featured a 30-piece orchestra and a 30-member chorus, as well as multimedia imagery and animation backdrops created and rendered by students and faculty. The high-tech scenery accentuated Wagner Park’s architectural structure, with the Hudson River waterfront and Statue of Liberty as backdrops.

Teatro Grattacielo, led by Artistic Director Stefanos Koroneos, is known for its forward-thinking, progressive, and multimedia-based exploration of opera. With this production, Teatro Grattacielo celebrates the 100th anniversary of the opera, which premiered in February 1922 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome.

Department of Digital Art and Design Chair Rozina Vavetsi, at the encouragement of New York Tech Chief Architect and Vice President Suzanne Musho and School of Architecture and Design Dean Maria Perbellini, led a team of faculty and students, who collaborated with Koroneos and projection designer Camilla Tassi to meet the aesthetic and technical requirements of the digital production.

Visiting Assistant Professor Anila Jaho oversaw the students’ many contributions to the digital design and 3-D animation portion of the project, while Associate Professor Michael Hosenfeld worked with design students at Mediapro studios in New York City Green to acquire green screen footage of Giulietta e Romeo. The 3-D animation and the digitally altered footage they created will be projected onto the backdrop of the architectural structure at the Robert F. Wagner Park as the actors perform on stage in real time.

New York Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture and Design and the Consulate General of Denmark In New York have partnered to host a virtual event addressing “The Future of Cities: Resilient Design and Equitable Communities.”

Issues regarding climate change and its effect on vulnerable communities, along with social and environmental justice, have been amplified during the pandemic. This discussion will focus on inclusivity, diversity, equity and overall sustainability and wellbeing of our social and ecological environments, which need to be at the center of our educational and professional paths.

Renewed responsible and proactive collaborative and integrative efforts will re-think structures, strategies, prescriptions, and methodologies for planning and space making. Through more sustainable processes of transformation and adaptation, we can design a truly balanced and healthy

The effects of the environmental crisis are now tangible at all latitudes and our commitment to mitigate them and ensure the best possible survival options for humanity can no longer be postponed. Scientists and researchers in all disciplines, including those in town planning and architecture, must step out of the ivory tower and learn to communicate with decision makers and politicians before it is too late.

The recently published Resilient Communities and the Peccioli Charter explores urban resilience through significant, original, and rigorous academic research, utilizing the experiences of town planners, architects, and decision makers to create a charter on resilient communities. The second part of the book presents mini-essays which consider strategic points of the paper and enable more casual readers to access and understand information on urban resilience.

The book also explores urban resilience through the work and understanding of urban planners, educators, and those involved in communication. Providing numerous illustrations and examples, Resilient Communities and the Peccioli Charter will be of interest to researchers, architects, urban designers and planners alike.
