Parsons School of Design invites you to the Class of 2026 End of Year Exhibition, a dynamic showcase of capstone and thesis projects from our graduating BFA, MFA, and MArch students working across interior, product, industrial, lighting, and architectural design. This exhibition represents the culmination of years of intensive research, experimentation, and making. Students don't just respond to the design challenges of today—they anticipate what comes next.

From speculative material systems and adaptive spatial strategies to human-centered products and immersive lighting environments, the work on view reflects a generation of designers trained to operate at the intersection of technology, equity, culture, and the built environment.

At Parsons, design education isn't confined to a single discipline. The School of Constructed Environments is uniquely structured to foster interdisciplinary collaboration across fields, producing graduates who think systemically and work fluidly between scales. From the object in your hand to the building around you to the city beyond, our students move across all of them. The result is work that is conceptually rigorous, technically ambitious, and deeply relevant to the world we're shaping now.

This year's exhibition spans two locations in the heart of Greenwich Village, offering visitors an immersive experience of the range and depth of our programs. Whether you are a design professional, prospective student, educator, or simply curious about the future of the built environment, there is something here for you.

We are also pleased to welcome New York City high school students for guided exhibition tours on Saturday, May 16th at 2:00 PM. This is an opportunity for the next generation of creative thinkers to engage with advanced design work and envision their own futures in the field.
