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.
