Screen Time: Student Work Gets the Immersive Treatment

This one hour moderated panel is hosted by the Architect’s Newspaper in partnership with Eventscape. Gareth Brennan, the Founder & President of Eventscape, will give short opening remarks before turning the stage over to the speakers.

The pandemic, disruptive though it’s been, has also revealed opportunities for experimentation. Case in point: for the second time, New York City’s architecture schools have adapted their end-of-year exhibitions for a digital format, trading in-person displays for immersive online environments. The most imaginative solutions pair a firm grasp of spatial and exhibition design with cutting-edge technologies, resulting in truly unique experiences. During this hour-long panel, we will hear from school heads about their efforts to cross the digital divide and what teachable moments the projects had to offer students.

These student showcases are fixtures of New York’s design calendar and help anchor events such as NYCxDesign. Owing to COVID-related restraints, NYCxDesign has also made adjustments to its lineup, moving its in-person programming to later in the year and adding a weeklong virtual event launching in mid-May. Eventscape, the presenting sponsor for “Architecture” Design Day is well known in the New York A&D community as a trusted Design, Engineering, & Fabrication Partner for prestigious projects in New York and worldwide. Eventscape’s recently opened Long Island City facility will provide a local office to deepen their ties with both recent grads and established architects.
