Intersight 24, as the journal of student work for the 2021 calendar year, chronicles the creative output of the School of Architecture and Planning as UB shifted from largely remote instruction to a full return to campus. The transition back – after nearly two years of separation due to the COVID-19 pandemic - would be full of excitement, energy and a sense of possibility in connecting anew to the fabric of our community. Katelyn Broat, our 2021-22 Brunkow Fellow and editor of Intersight 24, seizes the opportunity presented by this context, approaching the book’s curation as an ethnographic exploration of the culture of the School of Architecture and Planning. With impassioned vision, Broat speaks to a “personal desire to document the hidden relationships across across our School. The result is a layered presentation of the “thematic landscape” of the School of Architecture and Planning across more than 35 student works, from studios and seminars to competition entries and independent research.
