Eyebeam - New York

Interactive Architecture dot Org is going Stateside! I’ve just finished putting the final touches to organising my first Interactive Architecture Event. It has been put together with the generous support of Eyebeam, New York, and Professor Stephen Gage of the Interactive Architecture Workshop at the Bartlett School of Architecture, London. Here are the event details.

Friday 7pm Jan. 26 :: EyeBeam, 540 W 21st Street, New York :: Organised by Ruairi Glynn of www.interactivearchitecture.org, Eyebeam is pleased to co-host, with the Bartlett School of Architecture, an evening of presentations on Interactive Architecture. Presenters will include Phil Ayres of Sixteen Makers, Eyebeam residents Carmen Trudell and Jennifer Broutin, Marek Walczak of MW2MW and David Benjamin and Soo-in Yang of the NYC architecture firm, The Living. Presenters will discuss their work for 15 minutes followed by a panel discussion moderated by Professor Stephen Gage of the Bartlett with a reception from 9-10pm. This event is open to the public free of charge with a suggested donation. This evening symposium will be the culmination of a two day "work in progress" International Jury held at Eyebeam between final year students of the Bartlett’s Interactive Architecture Workshop, and Parsons The New School of Design. The Interactive Architecture Workshop would like to thank the Stuart Murphy Travel Award Trustees for their generous sponsorship.

The Two day "work in progress" International Jury held at Eyebeam (25/26 Jan) is also open to all. We would welcome artists, architects and students from other schools in the NYC area who would also wish to share their work in progress. If you or your fellow associates / class members are interested in joining us please contact me for more details. ruairi[at]interactivearchitecture.org

About The Bartlett Interactive Architecture Workshop

The Interactive Architecture Workshop is based in Diploma Unit 14 of the postgraduate studios at the Bartlett. Postgraduate Architecture students take a 2 year Diploma where the second year of the course is set up to encourage directed research into a particular aspect of design. Our students chose to investigate the architecture of time-based transformation. Projects vary from speculations about large long-term landscape transformations to the construction of 1:1 responsive and interactive installations.

Graduates from the studio include Jason Bruges, Usman Haque, Phil Ayres, Chris Leung, James O’Leary. [blogged by ruairi on Interactive Architecture dot Org]
