VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
End of Year Show 2020
The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture continues its year-end tradition by mounting a virtual End of Year Show!
At a time when the school’s buildings are physically inaccessible, Architecture faculty, students, and staff have collaborated to create a virtual exhibition using Unreal Engine gaming technology to visualize and simulate the Foundation Building, allowing visitors to traverse its spaces and explore student work in a digital environment.
The exhibition's opening event was held online on June 17 at 5 pm EST. The program included introductory remarks from Dean Nader Tehrani; a tour of virtual exhibition spaces within the Foundation Building by curators Steven Hillyer, Director of The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture Archive, and Farzin Lotfi-Jam, Assistant Professor Adjunct; and closing remarks from Assistant Dean Hayley Eber.
The End of Year Show includes work from across all five years of undergraduate design studios, from first year foundational Architectonics through Thesis, as well as work from the Master of Architecture II program, seminars, and other courses. Users navigating the exhibition across several floors of the Foundation Building will be able to view student drawings, 3D renderings, and additional content such as videos, animations, and slide presentations.
