Evan Shieh, M.AUD., assistant professor of architecture, and Dongsei Kim, M.Des., assistant professor of architecture, exhibited their collaborative proposal "Productive Han-Ga-Ram: the Han River as an Ecological & Cultural Madang (Frontyard)” at the 2023 Seoul Biennale of Architecture & Urbanism, on display from September 1 to October 29. The exhibition was created in collaboration with MMK+, Strange Works Studio, and Terrain Work. It aims to transform Seoul's Han River into a new central hub for the city by utilizing a kit-of-parts approach that adapts existing bridges and riverfronts. The result is a performative, productive, and social infrastructure that addresses the hydrological impacts of the climate crisis while sparking sociopolitical changes for the next 100 years in Seoul.

Carrie Rubinstein, adjunct instructor of digital art and design, had her work "Brick Fiction" displayed at the Brooklyn Art Cluster gallery from June 16 - August 23, 2023, as part of the exhibition Regarding Time and Memory. In his review, Tyler Holter writes, "[t]he once-industrial space resonates with her paper creation. The first section, a nine-by-twelve-and-a-half-foot 'wall,' has interlocking panels with exposed layers: the brick, wallpaper, plaster; all done on paper, in slate gray watercolor, gouache, and India ink, with flashes of red. In the second section, a room takes shape as walls form a corner, capped with a wire-suspended ceiling. In minute detail, Rubinstein has sculpted electrical outlets, conduit, picture frames, light fixtures, and even breaker boxes with a functioning door. Her work meditates on our built surroundings, drawing on the material histories and even labor involved in the production of space."
