January 23, 2018Call for Entries: AIANY Interiors Committee Speed Presentations
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, “Wellness,” calls for projects that make significant contributions to the human state, the health of our communities and encourage users to engage in more productive lifestyles. Projects may be of any type or scale, may be public or private, and should be predominantly about the design of interior spaces. Examples include, but are not limited to, retail spaces, places of work, living spaces, gyms, hospitals and community centers.
Interiors
Interiors hold special value for architects in New York. America’s largest city is also its most dense, a built up urbanism of infrastructure and a vast array of buildings, from small neighborhood infills, to Manhattan skyscrapers and more. Architects in the city build in between structures and often inside them. It is the nature of our practice here to bring the idea of site and urbanism and the life of the city indoors. And architects in New York tend to approach designing interiors in a more architectonic way than in most other cities. The AIANY Interiors Committee is naturally inclusive, recognizing the wide array of professionals, interests, efforts and ideas which contribute to interior architecture in New York. We welcome the participation of New York professionals to contribute to the committee work and encourage members to attend our monthly planning meetings and events. The AIANY Interiors Committee usually meets the 3rd Monday of every month at the Center for Architecture. Please email the co-chairs to confirm or if you have any questions.
