VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
Designing Architectural Research
Conceived by Dean Maria Perbellini
Curated by Professors Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa and Tom Verebes

“Designing Architectural Research” is an exhibition to celebrate the launch of two new Master Programs at the School of Architecture and Design at The New York Institute of Technology - a Master of Science in Architecture, Computational Technologies, and a Master of Science in Architecture, Health and Design.. The exhibition, conceived by Dean Maria Perbellini after a Grant by the IDC, is co-curated by Professors Tom Verebes and Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa.

Designing Architectural Research
The exhibition will have two sections of exhibitors, classified respectively as Computational Technologies and Health & Design. Experimenting with technologies at the frontiers of the discipline, this exhibition will bring together 12 exhibitors in each classification, with a total of 24 exhibitors, with the aim to survey innovations in these areas at the forefront of architectural practice. The 24 invitees represent the specialized areas of design which the MS programs aim to focus on in a post-graduate research-based context. Design research practices involve analytical and synthetic modes of investigation, in open, exploratory milieus. As such, this group exhibition gathers thinkers and makers who are reconsidering conventions at the frontiers of disciplinary practices
