ARCH 121: interpolatedVOID

The design of a piece of architecture must respond to a contextual condition. A new context has been established through the selection of two photographs. Elements of point, line and plane are then added, being used to infill a composition that responds to this new context.

ARCH 121: slipCASE

Interventions are made into a book through subtractive operations, responding to specific contextual conditions. An additive exercise strives to reveal and extend those conditions and develop a formal vocabulary. The final slipCASE becomes the book’s mediator between the book and the desk (context) in which it resides (it's site).

ARCH 122: paraSITE

Following careful site documentation and analysis, each team designs and builds one paraSITE that embodies a relationship to their site that is unique. It must be carried to and installed onto its site under the team’s physical power. Once located, it must engage passers-by in a distinct and meaningful anthropometric way, responding to both site and the team's analysis.

ARCH 123: theWALL

Although the wall often is a passive element, it performs a crucial and powerful role in the composition of architectural spaces. theWALL project asks the designer to critically question the condition "wall." Many distinct issues are assigned sequentially, with each introduced through a lecture of precedents and sources of inspiration, such as material, details, etc.
