To kick off Atelier Week, the Intersight Book Launch celebrates the release of the 2016 Intersight,  the student-work journal of design for the School of Architecture and Urban Planning and is a one-night-only event to preview the vibrance of the new Hayes Hall gallery space. Paying homage to the students who started their journey in Hayes before its renovation, this event is a welcoming home to students who will be graduating this spring. Through projections of pages from the book as well as copies being available to look through, this immersive event highlights the achievements of the students and looks ahead to the work that will come in our new home.

Come join us at the ice cream social as we gather both students and faculty members together for an afternoon of games and relaxed conversation. What better way to cool down during the week than with an ice cream cone in hand accompanied by carnival games! 

Exhibiting Architectures is an exhibition which critiques the studio environment which we all work in and displays models as artifacts which are produced within it. With over 400 models collected from both Undergraduate and Graduate studios submersed in an undulating white landscape, visitors are brought into a radical environment which decontextualizes everyday by-products of our material culture.

One of the highlights of Atelier Week events in years past, Pechakucha is a fun and engaging event where students and faculty present their work in 20 slides which each are displayed for only 20 seconds. This format creates a fast-pace and concise event that involves the presenters and audience participation.

Ending the Atelier Week is the annual Beaux Arts Ball, a tradition at our school where students, faculty, and staff let loose and dance the night away. Using the theme Casino Royale, inspired by “bondesque” attire, everyone is encouraged to wear their most dapper outfits and be ready to see some of your fellow students and faculty's best dance moves!
