The Floating Pavilion, part of a Floating Garden food forest envisioned by New York-based interdisciplinary artist Mary Mattingly, was created by RIT students.

When Don Pettit, NASA’s most senior astronaut, sought a way to accurately capture his view from the International Space Station, alumnus Peter Blacksberg connected him with Ted Kinsman, associate professor in the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences.

RIT architecture Professor Amanda Reis and students designed and built the ‘Peace Pavilion’ at Bethel Woods for BuildFest 2: Peace Rises.
