The final review of the Spring 2026 course NYC: As Built, taught by Li Han and Hu Yan of DAS, was held on May 1, 2026, at the Syracuse Architecture’s New York City campus. The  course focused on selected elevated subway stations in New York City—their platforms, architecture, surrounding neighborhoods, and the informal spaces that have evolved around them—producing collective drawings that capture how these urban spaces operate, change, and contribute to everyday life.
