AIA: Speed Presentations

Kara recently participated in the AIANY Interiors Committee Speed Presentations. A competition showcasing outstanding interior spaces designed by architects based in New York. The format of the event—a selection of architects presenting projects in quick-fire, six-minute intervals—allows participants to introduce their work to a wide audience in an engaging time frame. All submitted projects must either be built within the last 5 years or in the planning stages, under construction, or unbuilt. We presented our ongoing interior work at JFK’s NTO!
