THE2280ID, History of Theatre (D273), SP2024
A survey of the development of architectural and scenic styles in the physical structure of theatre from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its most current forms. Emphasis placed on the stylistic influences of theoreticians and artistic movements. Interdisciplinary Option: This course is a conversation between theater history and architecture. As such, the work in class focuses on purpose-built and adapted spaces for live performance. Each week we will examine historical theatre spaces and technologies in the context of prevailing cultural and social forces in order to better understand audience/stage relationships. To fulfill the interdisciplinary requirements for this course, specialists from architecture, art history, and performance technology will guest lecture six times over the course of the semester.Students will learn skill-sets from architecture technology: GIS mapping and hand sketching.

Interdisciplinary Information Design ID2 – Model Course
This openly available model course contains course information, learning outcomes, suggested weekly topics and projects, video resources, quizzes, and more. It may be cloned and adapted by any faculty member teaching this course.
ARCH3590 Introduction to Computation and Fabrication Spring 2014
This course, taught by Prof. Leonhardt and myself, is an introduction to digital fabrication. It will explore the qualities of materials such as wood, concrete, and plastics in the context of computational design and digital fabrication thinking and techniques. Projects will provide students with experience in the use of a variety of tools, equipment, concepts, and emerging digitally-driven technologies, including parametric rule-based design, subtractive fabrication, assembly techniques, and iterative design processes
My Projects
Citytech Top Picks – Mapping food Choices Around College
At Citytech, the dining options are somewhat limited, with just one cafeteria located in the Namm building. Unfortunately, its menu selection is also quite restricted, prompting many students to seek alternative meal options off-campus Understandably, students value accessibility, quality food, affordability, and a conducive environment for studying or socializing when choosing where to dine. For this project, we will create a map that shows the locations of the spots most recommended by students, includes the reviews, and also updates in real time. We will begin by conducting a survey to find out which bakeries, cafés, and restaurants are most popular among students. Through this survey, we aim to delve into the reasons behind their preferences, whether it’s the diverse menu offerings, the cozy ambiance, the affordability, or other factors contributing to their satisfaction. By collecting and analyzing this data, we aspire to compile a valuable resource that will benefit every student on campus. Sharing our findings will ensure that all students have access to information about the best dining options nearby, enhancing their overall campus experience. Next, we’ll create a map showing a ) .5-mile radius around the school in ArcGIS Pro. A link posted on campus will continuously collect student ratings. We’ll connect an RSS feed to the survey to the map so the most updated survey results will show up on the map.

My Clubs
This Green Spaces club focuses on Design in the Service of Science, on green urban ecosystems and the embrace of nature for soon-to-open spaces at City Tech. The club welcomes a diverse array of perspectives from biology, design, health care, literature, history, social sciences, etc. So come, get your hands dirty, hang out with friends, find kindred spirits, and take a stake in your backyard at the college.
City Tech Women Engineers Club
The mission of the City Tech Women Engineers Club is to promote awareness and interest in improving the enrollment, retention and graduation rates of women in the technology programs at New York City College of Technology, as well as develop leadership skills through workshops, seminars and student collaboration. lnstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Women in Engineering (WIE) student branch at CityTech invites all interested students to join the Openlab club. Joining IEEE WIE student chapter is optional. We provide support, information and resources to all members to help them succeed in their engineering technology field of interest.
Computer Systems Technology Colloquium
The Computer Systems Technology (CST) Colloquium is dedicated to providing the students, staff, and faculty of New York City College of Technology, the City University of New York, and the greater public with access to information regarding the latest developments in computing from both a research and industrial perspective. We strive to schedule speakers that have a prominent influence in the computing field and that can engage our audience to have a deeper understanding and passion for computers, software engineering, programming languages, networks, and other topics.
