The faculty and staff of IMA Low Res are drawn upon from a diverse pool of talented educators and industry professionals around the world within the NYU-global network. Many of them are current faculty members and/or alumni from both ITP and IMA. During the in-person sessions in New York, Berlin, and Shanghai, a combination of local and international instructors lead courses, conversations, workshops, and site visits. Online courses are taught by dedicated faculty who have experience guiding groups of students in semester-long project work.
