The AAP NYC Studio was proud to host the AAP ASSOCIATION publication’s 10th Anniversary and Volume 7 Launch Party on Wednesday October, 7. The event brought together Cornell AAP Alumni, students, and faculty to celebrate the history of the ASSOCIATION, while fostering new discussions and connections- the premise of the publication itself.

“ASSOCIATION is a collection of work produced by the students, faculty, and alumni of Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art & Planning. The publication fosters cross disciplinary dialogue within the College, revealing commonalities and expanding the scope of each discipline by exposing a complex network of relationships, generating new methods for reading each project.”
Rather than name tags, every person was given a colored square to identify their major. The squares became conversation starters and the colors became an icon of the event. The colors also corresponded to the network-thread installation which delineated the relationships between the works, people, and majors present in the Volume 7 publication.

The evening started off with a toast from the original ASSOCIATION founders who started the publication ten years ago, followed by the current leaders of the publication.
Both new and familiar faces showed up to the event!

It was exciting to see the premise of ASSOCIATION literally take place right before our eyes. Through ten years of development, the publication has grown to be far more than just a book! The night was bustling with exciting and engaging conversation about internship experiences, life after university, and living & working in NYC.
