About this Event
Design-interested high school students are invited to experience the innovative work of architecture students at New York Institute of Technology through a guided tour of the program’s end-of-year exhibitions. Created specifically for prospective students, this tour offers a unique opportunity to explore how architecture students develop ideas, challenge conventions, and design for the future.
What to Expect:
Participants will visit Worlds Un/Designed, a gallery exhibition of thesis work by fifth-year architecture students. The exhibition examines how traditional approaches to planning, infrastructure, architecture, interiors, and materials have shaped the built environment—often reinforcing established assumptions about space, bodies, and systems. In response, these thesis projects challenge those conventions, proposing more inclusive, resilient, and regenerative design futures.
The work on view spans a wide range of scales—from ground and site to building systems, construction technologies, and emerging materials—reflecting new ways of thinking about architecture in a rapidly changing world. Together, these projects respond to conditions that are both hyper-local and global, individual and collective, and increasingly informed by principles of circularity and sustainability.
In addition to the gallery exhibition, participants will:
- Visit undergraduate Architecture and Interior Design studios (5th Floor), featuring selected student work
- Explore graduate studios for M.S. Architecture, M.S. Urban Design, and M.S. Health and Design (10th Floor), with additional work on display
This tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at studio culture and provides insight into what it’s like to study architecture at the college level.
Meeting Location:
Please meet in the Entrance Gallery Space at 1855 Broadway. The tour will begin promptly, so plan to arrive a few minutes early.
