Interiors

Speed Presentations was created by the AIANY Interiors Committee to showcase New York-based architects who are designing outstanding interior spaces. The format of the event—10 architects presenting in quick-fire six-minute intervals—allows us to explore a wide range of projects in a short time frame.

The theme of this edition, “Building Community,” calls for projects that make significant contributions to buildings, development and neighborhoods through design, program, service, and/or other strategies. Projects may be of any type or scale, may be public or private, however should be predominantly about the design of interior spaces. Examples include, but are not limited to, social venues, gathering spaces, building amenity spaces (residential or commercial), retail stores, restaurants/cafes, and community rooms/centers.
