Senior Thesis Exhibitions Parsons’ thesis exhibitions took over the campus and satellite venues, marking students’ critical and creative accomplishments as well as moments of public pride. Presented in a number of ways—public events, a show filling the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, a static fashion show, a symposium for interactive technology, and an exhibition at The Kitchen— the work highlighted each school’s distinct, newly formed “cultures.” Studio work reflected the critical thinking skills developed in the School of Art and Design History and Theory.

School of Art, Media and Technology Designed by visiting professor Ivan Kucina, the AMT exhibit temporarily transformed the ground floor of Parsons’ galleries with surprising work, fulfilling Lyn Rice Architects’ vision of a space that expresses the school’s creativity.
