    <full-description>Tapping their feet and chewing pencils, five students nervously await the outcome of five tumultuous years of intense labor. In moments, they will hear from their committee of professors as to the final decision of their senior thesis projects. The documentary Archiculture follows these five students and their struggles over the course of their final semester at a university to complete their thesis projects, which are the manifestations of years of hard work, stress and, ultimately, success.

Come join us to celebrate the debut of our trailer for the feature length documentary Archiculture, which is currently being shot in New York at Pratt Institute. We will have a brief introduction to the project, a few guest speakers, and a short presentation by the film's creators and filmmakers followed by a Q&amp;A session.

Speakers: David Krantz (co-Producer/Director); Ian Harris (co-Producer/Director); Pierce Cook (co-Producer/Editor) with special guest speakers TBA
Organized by: AIA New York Chapter, Center for Architecture Foundation, Arbuckle Industries

    <full-description>Cusp Conference puts design where it belongs: everywhere. 

It's two days of seemingly random but totally focused energy, ideas, inspiration, revelation and absolute awesomeness delivered by an eclectic roster of artists, designers, attorneys, educators, activists, innovators, architects, scientists, musicians, engineers, authors, filmmakers, physicians, entrepreneurs and students. 

Why attend?

"Physicists use the word 'entropy' to mean 'increasing disorder.' One of the two anti-entropic processes is a green planet&#8230; photosynthesis. The other anti-entropic process is what this conference is all about&#8230; human intelligence."
