DEAN’S NOTE The School of Architecture and Design at New York Tech continues its successful trajectory, prioritizing a student-centered and meaningful environment based on academic excellence and caring mentorship. It is with enthusiasm that I welcome you to our annual student-led publication “Atmosphere 05. ” I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some SoAD highlights.
ian Ministry of Culture, and curated by Alessandro Melis, the new SoAD IDC Foundation Endowed Chair. We successfully executed a $2 million IDC Foundation Grant, awarded for the renovation and expansion of the Fabrication Lab (FabLab) facilities at our Long Island campus, including a new Robotics Lab.
The recent period of correlated crises has presented us with unforeseen constraints, but also opportunities to be creative in implementing digitized practices as a means to reimagine our teaching and learning modalities, our tools to deliver, communicate and effectively share information and knowledge. To stimulate imagination and creativity, a fertile school should facilitate exploration beyond disciplinary boundaries, allowing students to take risks in their discoveries. The recent works at the School of Architecture and Design included in this publication manifest the pursuit of a diverse set of skills supported by novel digital sensitivities, an achievement of expertise, which engages emerging technologies in design iterations and experimentations. The design opportunities that we offer include interdisciplinary projects involving vulnerable local and international communities, curricular activities, and initiatives focused on issues of social justice, equity, diversity, environmental resilience, urban adaptation, and processes of sustainable growth.
Entrepreneurial initiatives and workshops with leading experts and industry partners promote research and grant opportunities for students and faculty. In the fall of 2021, we started two Master of Science programs: Architecture, Computational Technologies, and Architecture, Health and Design. From 3-D printing models and artificial intelligence within the design process to augmented reality, simulation, and robotic systems to aid construction and amplify the spatial experience to a stronger interaction with data and information for computational analysis, we offer speculative yet evolving design approaches and architectural production. These two programs are conceived to complement each other and create space for discussion on the role of technologies for a more accountable approach to sustainability, health, safety, wellness, equitable spaces, and governance. With excitement, we created the endowed Tommaso and Franca Chieco Dean’s Atelier Studio for our top students, inviting the world-renowned architect Alberto Campo Baeza to teach a topical studio with alumni engagement and funds.
The School has recently expanded its footprint and ambitions with the addition of the Department of Digital Art and Design, with degrees in Fine Arts and Technology, Graphic Design, Digital Arts, and UX/UI Design. Notably, we were invited to the 17th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale 2021. Our faculty and student works were featured in the Korean Pavilion and participated in curatorial appointments, exhibitions, installations, and symposia in the Italian Pavilion - Resilient Communities - sponsored and promoted by the Ital-
We have increased our fundraising activities, receiving grants (IDC Foundation, Alumni, Friends) for student scholarships, student-led projects, activities, and organizations, and the innovative advancement of technology-based skills. Global issues of environmental awareness, climate change, sustainable solutions, and social responsibility infuse all of our curricula, lecture series, events, and initiatives, and have become part of our design studio projects; inform virtual conversations in our school community with external guests; stimulate sym-

posia and panels (The Future of Cities: Urban Regeneration in a Time of Crisis; Design Innovation: Resilient Cities Learning For Science; Critical Density: Health, Ecology, Economy & Equity; among others); and are core themes of our specialized master’s degrees. We have developed strategies for the continuous integration of emerging technologies in curricula that impact the profession. Technology-based curricula are enriched with interdisciplinary courses, workshops, and experiential learning activities through the application and support of professional design programs, software, and digital platforms (including simulation programs, BIM360, VDC practices, Miro, AR/VR/ MR, Robotic Total Stations, etc.). Our visibility and reputation have increased through the support of faculty and student accomplishments, research, and creative activities in publications (Data, Matter, Design: Strategies in Computational Design), conferences, symposia, exhibitions, installations, competitions, and professional work. Examples include the Italian Virtual Pavilion; the R-Cubed: Best Practices for Community-based and Multidisciplinary, Comprehensive Disaster Response; and Housing Density: From Tenements to Towers, among others. Faculty members, in collaboration with New York Tech’s College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, have participated in successful National Science Foundation (NSF) grants. Among other opportunities, our faculty and graduate students work on case studies with experts from the Urban Land Institute, the AIA New York chapter, and InSource, in coordination with key community stakeholder groups on a net-zero carbon district in New York City. We are also collaborating with the Research Coordination Network for the Study of the Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) Nexus for Sustainable and Resilient Urban Development.
It is crucial to leverage our global presence by establishing overseas partnerships and agreements with renowned universities, industries, professionals, and organizations (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Bari, IUAV, PUC Rio, UIC Barcelona, Consulate General of Denmark in New York, New York City Architecture Biennial, ENEL-Italian Energy Company, Peccioli Research Center, New York City Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Readiness, Career and Technical Education, and local community colleges, among others). Among the several design competitions and extracurricular activities that involve our students, in 2021, 4 students were named in the Metropolis Magazine Future 100 list, a prestigious award that recognizes the next generation of architects and designers. Moreover, while many of our alumni have transitioned into positions at some of the world’s top firms, others choose to continue their education in graduate-level programs at prominent Ivy League architecture schools building a solid path to successful professional and academic careers. I am sincerely grateful to our faculty, students, and staff for being able to creatively embrace new visions for the future, not only accepting change positively but, most importantly, anticipating it. My special thank you goes to all our students, for the production and selection of works in this 5th issue of Atmosphere representing what we do and what is still in the process of becoming; to the exemplary guidance and care of our faculty and administrative staff, and the invaluable support of our Alumni and Friends. We have many reasons to CELEBRATE the success of our School! Maria R. Perbellini, Dean School of Architecture and Design New York Institute of Technology

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.

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 cliff 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 The Bachelor of Architecture studio sequence affirms our belief in learning through doing, and in the role of studio courses as the laboratories where other experiences, from coursework and from life, are integrated in experimental and innovative ways. Our rigorous studio sequence is modeled to reflect a range of architectural issues one confronts in professional practice. It progresses from extra-small to extra-large projects, and from ones that are abstract and conceptual to ones that are comprehensive in their integration of user, technical and site considerations. The second-year studio challenges students to think conceptually while solving problems featuring increasingly plausible issues of use, site, and construction. Design I and II studios build from analysis to synthesis, requiring students to understand an architecture problem to address design solutions from a historical understanding of canonical precedents in the discipline and how to critically engage considerations regarding ideas, 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 is introduced as an essential research vehicle. The third-year studio is a more thorough introduction to architecture in the public and private realms. Design III involves the design of a small public institutional building and Design IV, housing. 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 passive strategies for daylight and ventilation, all 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, 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. The fifth-year studio requires students to select a study topic for Design VII and VIII studios. Design VII is organized around research and documentation of the concepts, the background, the site and the available data surrounding the topic. 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 regeneration within extended regional landscapes. Design VIII is devoted to design and execution of project proposals, often accompanied by 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.

DESIGN STUDIO 1 Design I builds up on the ability to critically read, understand and decode architecture, starting with architecture comparative analysis. Design I develops an understanding of an architecture idea in relation to a problem of computer representation, coordinating a digital sign such as a vector with an architecture sign such as column. Design I departed from a critical parametricconstruction 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 critiqued the various components of a system, such as an original typology through topological degree displacements. These displacements were used to activate clear subject-object relationships, circulation, service/served organizations and informing/informed by the program of an un-house dwelling for a dynamic contemporary social group. Design I studied construction systems and architecture elements in parallel to other courses such as history/theory and building constructions and statics-structures (space-frame), understanding the architecture of construction types in relation to structure and their possible topological displacements. Design I build up a critical understanding of site specificity as an extension of the architecture process. Both Design I and II studios of Second Year developed processes from analysis to synthesis: requiring students to understand an architecture problem and to address design solutions from a historical-theoretical section in the discipline and that engaged with the issues discussed. The Fall Semester Studio developed a single design project developing a dwelling or an “un-house”, 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 departed from a dialectical opposition to the Fall semester curriculum but understood as a continuous critical project articulating both semesters through thesis-antithesis. The concepts and skills learned on the previous semester based on displacing a deterministic grid through parametric variations in a domestic program, were opposed by departing from an existing site-specific intervention (Rosalind Krauss, 1970) in a public program in Central Park in New York City.
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.
The studio departed from analyzing an existing site, its complex topography, its logic and addressing an intervention addressing the concept of index and that dealt with the interpretative reading of these conditions as architecture. Multiple readings of the site were addressed through a diversity of historical sections based on non-Western civilizations and Western culture, from the Inca Empire’s urban circular economy measuring the topography through agricultural terraces, to Enric Miralles’ “How to Lay Out a Croissant”. Sitespecific interventions emerged from reading site conditions and relationships but also by specifically analyzing the tension between the topography/paths and 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 an existing bridge and an existing tunnel and basing their readings as surveys, but also 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

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, with a public - cultural institution building in the Design III and the dwelling in Design IV. A second objective is to introduce the comprehensive nature of architectural design in the pedagogical sequence of studios.. Each semester focuses on the design of a single project with phases that progress from analysis to synthesis; schematic design to design development. The intention is to develop comprehensive design solutions that critically engage multiple considerations of socio-cultural meaning, form, program, construction and environmental ecology. The studios engage historically related precedent, social and environmental concerns and technological innovation through built form. This year in Design III, the public institution was a K-3 school on an urban site at 8th Avenue, between 21st and 22nd Street in New York City. The studio addressed 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 and structures a child’s learning and education. Another issue was to investigate creating an image of the institutions in the urban realm that is made of a hierarchy of significant images. The schools large spaces of cafeteria, gymnasium and library were to serve as a resource for community use after school hours, providing the neighborhood community with a place to meet. Designs were to be achieved through the creation of inventive, useful and meaningful space.

DESIGN STUDIO 4 Design IV provided the second part of the dialectic of public and private with the study of the dwelling or private realm of our society. Following the consideration of the role of public institutions in our society, the relationship of the residential component to urbanization was considered in a general and specific manor with the program of urban multi family housing. The private domain is critical to the definition of personal freedom and its organization provides the setting for, and shapes domestic rituals. Alternatively, collective housing can assist the integration of residents and participate in the creation of neighborhood. The program dealt with the changing definition of the family make-up and relations and the interrelation or social integration of groups of inhabitants. Social issues of affordability are also discussed. The multiple scales from the individual dwelling to the aggregation of units with the collective potential of shared circulation, communal spaces and programs was a critical area of examination. The role of housing in the creation of physical urban fabric, its relationship to the surrounding context, were important issues with each studio section studying different infill sites in the five boroughs of New York City. With the same program there was the potential for comparison of the effects of site on the designs.

DESIGN STUDIO 5 The Community Design Studio is a unique vehicle to practice your influence in the future development at multiple scales: a region, a community, a block and lot. Inwood East of Broadway to the Harlem River Waterfront in Upper Manhattan will be your laboratory for experimenting with a process that re-thinks, re-shapes and re-generates the Urban Environment in the 21st century. While neighborhoods of Inwood West of Broadway have long been characterized with access to beautiful parks (Fort Tryon Park, Inwood Hill Park, Isham Park and a well-developed Hudson River Waterfront with recreational spaces, bike paths, and cultural institutions (The Cloisters, NY Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University’s Baker Athletic Campus), the Inwood East of Broadway remains underserved with a post-industrial and infrastructural landscape marked by lower income communities (77% of households earning less than $20,000). Broadway also acts as a racial divider with West Inwood predominantly White and East Inwood heavily Dominican. Inwood recently went through a rezoning that will inevitably impact these communities and future developments.

DESIGN STUDIO 6 Design Studio VI is the second comprehensive design studio, which means the expectations are that it acts as a summation of all the technical AND studio coursework completed over the last four years. Given this definition, this semester will be about research and evaluation based on criteria that are quantifiable but eventually extremely non-objective. To design a building while experiencing this tension is highly unnerving; it is also a tension where brilliant architectural decisions are made, or at the very least, the tension will allow for spectacular mistakes to occur. During the semester students will be asked to integrate many aspects of your architectural education coming from several disciplines of research in architecture to create a small public building complete with its materiality, structure and heating/ cooling systems and site considerations. As it is in any significant work of architecture, the emphasis will be placed in the creativity of the process of integrating all building systems and environmental concerns in the design. This will be done in the most conventional way, ie. it mirrors the way good practicing architects think. First and foremost, the intention is to develop your project as one might in an architectural practice – in parallel, simultaneous, collaborative ways.

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 student/researcher, then as professional, 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 issue that involve 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 researches, 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 a main topic shared within the studio, as described in the studio outlines. Beyond fulfilling the requirements for their section, it is the responsi-

bility 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 topic and site, with their broader references and potentials. 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, 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. Conclusions of that research should be part of the final presentation. By the end of Design 7 a clear thesis statement, a thorough research and the presentation of a complete thesis idea must be established, coherently demonstrated and included into the first stage of the individual outline of a design proposal and included into 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 into 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 critical thinker and responsible designer, and ideally, become the most sophis-

TECHNOLOGY
The main thesis topic across all the sections for the year 2020-21 is “MEMORY AND EMERGING PROPHECIES” understood and open to be interpreted from the scale of the architecture component/s and of the building, to the one of 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 towards 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.
214
Building Construction I + 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+II introduces students to the basic provisions of comfort, health, safety, and their role as the most basic objective in creating architecture. The course sequence will develop a basic understanding of how to achieve and maintain these provisions and how to integrate them into the architectural design process. Through a combination of theoretical seminars and practical design assignments the following main topics are addressed: Climate Responsive Design, Solar Orientation, Indoor Air Quality, Performance Assessment Tools, Carbon Neutral Design, Bioclimatic Design, Energy Efficiency, Performance of Envelope Systems, Moisture Transfer, Thermal Control, Active/Passive Heating and Cooling, Water and Waste, Plumbing and Acoustics.
Matthew Kennedy Professor Matthias Altwicker Fall 2020 215
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.

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.

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 drawing 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.
228
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 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 communication 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 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.

VISUALIZATION 2 Visualization II is designed to support the curriculum, methodologies, and projects developed in AAID 102- Design Fundamentals 2. 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. 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. 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.

INTERIOR DESIGN The Interior Design Department at the New York Institute of technology school of Architecture and Design is a Council for Interior Design Accredited (CIDA) program that prepares students for life-long groundbreaking engagement with the built environment. The department’s multidisciplinary approach shapes the program curriculum to create collaborations that engage students in areas of health, product design, furniture, lighting, technology and beyond. Students admitted to BFA Interior Design program undergo a rigorous, yet enriching learning process. First-year students are introduced to fundamentals of design through a series of analytical and experimental exercises. They explore spatial conditions, shape, color, and light, blending design studios, visualization, history, theory, and liberal arts courses that provide a solid foundation to critical thinking and practical skills. Second and third year ventures into strategically positioned design projects meant to emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration with the health profession. Interior Design students are currently collaborating with NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine to design interior spaces for the NYITCOM community in Arkansas. The Material Discoveries course explores healthy, innovative materials to stimulate a new approach leading to improving health conditions for future built environments. As they enter senior year, BFA Interior Design students engage in research-based thesis studios that allow personal interest to materialize and emerge as proposals for inhabitable environments. Projects address spatial justice, celebration of cultural rituals or response to past or emerging global crisis. In addition to BFA in Interior Design, the department collaborates with NYIT School of Management to offers

students a unique opportunity for an accelerated path into a Master of Business Administration degree. Undergraduate Junior students can take graduate level courses that can be applied to a year-long MBA program. Admitted students can graduate with a BFA and MBA degree that prepares them for superior entrepreneurship skills essential for emerging designers today. More than completing credit requirements for their Interior Design BFA or BFA + MBA Track curriculum, students are exposed to several leadership opportunities that serve as a platform to sharpen their leadership and civic engagement skills. Students contribute to the studio culture and broader design community by holding positions in the Interior Design Student Association, American Institute of Architecture Student (AIAS), NYIT SoAD Student Affairs Committee, NYIT Student Government and the National Organization of Minority Architect Students (NOMAS). The design skills and knowledge acquired at NYIT 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 honor is awarded by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) to celebrate excellence and diversity in the field of architecture and design. The professionalism, excellence in design, and strong work ethics strategically place graduates from NYIT SoAD - Interior Design in a meaningful path to exploration, intellectual growth, and dedication to making a healthier, inclusive, and welcoming built environment for all.

M. ARCH The M.Arch studio sequence is an intense and focused series of courses that develop fluency with the evolving technologies that are 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 innovators, collaborators, and leaders who are prepared to create innovative and sustainable architecture, successful communities and resilient cities. There are two paths that lead to the Master of Architecture professional degree. Track I, beginning at the 600-level, is for students who do not have a pre-professional degree in architecture and are new to architectural studies. Track II, beginning at the 700 level, is for students with a 4-year, pre-professional degree in Architecture or Architectural Technology. Both tracks share coursework at the 700-level and above. 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 starts with a model of architecture as a series of nested volumes. The innermost providing the surfaces and materials for human activity, while the outermost responding to environmental dynamics as they impact transmission of light, moisture, temperature, etc., and with the fixed elements of adjacent structures and topog-

raphy. Intermediate layers are investigated in subsequent studio as students assimilate knowledge about technical and environmental systems. 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 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. 800 level coursework is research based and is devoted to experimental, topical areas of focus in Environmental Urbanism, Digital Design + Fabrication and Advanced Architectural Technology. Adhoc research and design workshops, some international, allow us to engage contemporary issues with internationally renowned experts. David Diamond, Professor, SoAD at NYIT

MS.AUD The exponential growth of cities globally in conjunction with expanding social and ecological challenges and the increasing impact of systemic 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 up to new paths that rely more on being aware of the codependency 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 inherently 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
FACULTY Jeffrey Raven Michael Schwarting Tom Verebes Dongsei Kim Jeannette Sordi

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.

DIGITAL ARTS and DESIGN The Digital Art and Design Department is excited to be included in the No 5 ATMO magazine, a publication showcasing outstanding student work. DA&D strives to implement pedagogical methodologies, and infuse them with emerging technologies to form the future. Here, we enable creativity and discovery, and help students become visual artists and communication designers, storytellers, and entrepreneurs. Through curricular innovation, the use of cutting-edge technologies and under the guidance of accomplished faculty, students explore new territories, rise above disciplinary boundaries and become the thinkers and makers of the next generations. With programs in graphic design, digital arts, art and technology, and UX/UI, we prepare our students for a wide variety of careers, merging academia with the professional world, fostering imagination and curiosity and providing them with unprecedented opportunities to shape our world. All our programs offer capstone or Thesis courses which serve as syntheses of all skills and competencies students obtained during their studies.
In the past pandemic year, we rose to the occasion and continued delivering solid education and experiences to our students in spite of the difficult logistical challenges and the emotionally charged environment. We worked hard to continue giving workshops, doing research and being involved with community outreach and engagement initiatives. Some of the highlights include: CITYarts 3D Design Contest, Virtual Summer Academy for Middle School students, Game Design workshops for Community College students in the tri-state area, International UX/UI Design Sprint workshop with École Intuit Lab in Mumbai, AR workshop at Workshop at French Institute Alliance Française, Workshops in AR and VR for the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Girl’s Science & Engineering Day, and many others. In the Fall of 2021, it was announced that DA&D would join the School of Architecture and Design and we embraced this prospect with enthusiasm and excitement. As we emerge from the difficult times that have restricted us over the past two years, we are moving ahead with optimism and looking forward to a cross-pollination of ideas, knowledge, and experiences between all departments.

3D DESIGN COMPETITION The Digital Art & Design department at New York Tech works to connect its students with local communities and real-world applications where art and design lives and breathes. In the Spring of 2021, the department worked closely with the nonprofit CITYarts organization’s Cooking with Color initiative, aiming to mentor at-risk youth by involving them in hands-on cooking sessions and educating them on how to make healthy nutritional choices. Rozina Vavetsi, M.Sc., Associate Professor and Chair of the department, served as liaison between CITYarts and New York Tech and led a team of faculty, staff and students to create innovative 3D printed designs of saltand-pepper containers to celebrate gastronomy and the organization’s empowering effort. Anila Jaho, Visiting Professor, played a pivotal role in this initiative, mentoring a group of 3D Modeling and Animation students who participated enthusiastically in the competition and submitted exceptional designs.

ANIMATION & FILM FESTIVAL The Animation and film festival has become 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. 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’ recordings. https://www.nyit.edu/arts_and_sciences/animation_ film_festival https://www.nyit.edu/arts_and_sciences/2020_animation_and_film_festival_awards For the next year, we would like to continue to celebrate this event in person while including an online documentation, as we did in these past couple of years. This has been an important venue for marketing, recruiting students, and making our department visible. Organizers of the event: Anila Jaho for Animations from DAD Paul Demonte for Films from CA
