Dragon Day is a long-held Cornell tradition where first-year architecture students construct and parade a massive dragon across campus as a celebration of teamwork and community. Marking the event’s 125th anniversary, this year’s dragon follows the theme “Veiled,” using tensile fabric veiled over a concealed structural frame. The first-year students will be accompanied by AAP’s student community, with an open invitation extended to the whole university to attend the parade.
