Milano students show their creative work

Renée Zelles, one of the contributors, surrounded by student works exploring Cities and Landscapes.

The Urban Space Lab organized an end-of-year exhibit of creative works by students related to their research. Exhibition was open to all Milano students as well as students taking Milano courses. Both Masters and Doctoral students participated.

The theme for this year was "Cities and Landscapes," with a call for entries of 2D work, including photography, collage, posters, maps, drawing, painting, and other media. We received a total of 22 entries, from which we selected 14 to print, frame, and mount. Radhya Kareem lead the design and installation of the exhibit, with help from Lynn Ayoub and Isis Gamble. The following works are on display:

Noah Allison, New Delhi Railway Station (photograph)

Amogh Arakali, The Indian Street as a Collapse of Domains (poster, collage)
