As the spring semester comes to a close, architecture students from several schools across the country, including Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP) can add a completed built work to their list of academic accomplishments.
In New York, 20 graduate students from Columbia’s GSAPP have created Avery SPOT, a 600-pound inflatable canopy, anchored by four steel beams in Avery Plaza on the university’s main campus. Designed and constructed in the seminar “The Outside Project,” led by faculty Laurie Hawkinson and Galia Solomonoff, the temporary installation was erected in April and used during the GSAPP commencement earlier in May. The project was supported by Dean Amale Andraos, who recently announced she would be stepping down as Dean later this year.
