Symposium: ‘AFTERTASTE 2011: Immaterial Environments’

Mar 2011

By Sebastian J — Filed under: Events , New York, Parsons, USA

AFTERTASTE: Immaterial Environments will investigate aspects of interior space that are seemingly intangible yet highly perceived. What are some of the immaterial qualities that make up our surroundings? How do we better understand elements of interior climate, the physiological and psychological impacts, so that these become material with which we create and educate?

On April 1st and 2nd, designers, physicians, scientists, scholars and artists will come together to explore these questions.

Preceding the symposium, there will be an exhibition and panel discussion called Radical Shifts, documenting the transition from an ‘Interior Design’ to an ‘Environmental Design’ program at Parsons dating from the mid-60s, a predecessor to our current Program in Interiors.

What can rest stops, information centers, and observation decks tell visitors about a culture? The School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The New School for Design will explore this question when it presents Detour, a traveling exhibition documenting notable architecture and design along 18 Norwegian National Tourist Rout. In ArchDaily we’ve been featuring Pushak’s projects on the Norwegian Rout, which you can see right here.

The exhibition, which is sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Consulate General and presented in collaboration with the Architectural League of New York and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, will be on view December 4 through January 19 at the Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons.
