FF – Distance Edition: SITU



The League’s monthly First Friday series shifted to a new online format and other days of the week. Each event explores design practices in New York City and beyond that operate in multiple roles—coupling architecture with initiatives including design advocacy, fabrication research, and community engagement.

Each program consists of brief presentations about the office structure (including some form of virtual tour, when possible), recent projects, and impetus for creating alternative modes of practice, followed by an informal discussion with attendees. Grab a beverage of your choice and join us for a casual conversation.

Brooklyn-based SITU was founded in 2005 by friends studying architecture at The Cooper Union. The practice is organized into three divisions—studio, research, and fabrication—that work collaboratively while providing individual capabilities and services. Its staff includes a wide range of specialists, all committed to exploring and crafting spaces at multiple scales, working across a creative studio and a fabrication workshop.

The conversation will be moderated by architect, researcher, and educator Quilian Riano. Riano is the founder and lead designer of DSGN AGNC, a design studio exploring new forms of political engagement and co-creation through architecture, urbanism, landscapes, and art. He is also the associate director of Kent State University’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC).
