Armin Hasancevic Architecture Student
About Me I am a student enrolled into the architecture program at Iowa State University. I have had a passion for architecture and design ever since my dad intoduced me into construction and remodeling. I am seeking to expand my knowledge on the world of architecture and excited to see what oppurtunites it brings.

Semper Architecture 301 Instructor: Kevin Lair In Collaboration with: Mckenna VanDenTop and Kyle Guenther Over time landscape has become the space that is disregarded and destroyed for the use of humans. Forests have been pushed to the sides and knocked down, land has been dug up and dumped wherever people please. This then creates the challenge of how we can use architecture to restore the landscape. Semper is a place meant to heal and rehabilitate the landscape that we destroyed. Using the space of the power line, an already destroyed land, we created a structure out of already used materials collected from an old barn and corn crib on site. We designed a space that allows people to venture through the forest and collect local invasive species to stop them from further spreading using the material we collected. The volunteers then take the invasives to the building to dispose of them, then pick up seeds that are beneficial to the ecology, which helps the plants spread and cover over the damaged spaces. This ritual allows people to help undo the damage that years and years of humans caused.

Harlem Flats Architecture 347 Instructor: Bosuk Hur In Collaboration with: Mircea Nastee and Evan Corkery Harlem Flats was a different kind of project for us. We were given the challenge of designing a tenant building in Harlem. Given the specific constraints, it was simple to put together. The challenge came when we had to develop a structural system that was completely new and unique to the concrete industry, given that this was for the Wells Concrete competition. Given everything, we jumped right into the project where we had first focused on the modular façade of our building. We wanted to make it out of a handful of different cubes that could be moved, rotated, and flipped around until the builder got the desired look. We also had a challenge when designing the floors plans. We wanted to create a unique space but still provided everything a tenant needed without being too cramped. The building also provides a deluxe unit at the top of the building that provides a lofted floor and direct access to the communal balcony. The last challenge we then tackled was the structure system. We wanted it to be fully modular and precast off-site with this system. Therefore, we created a Lego-type structure where you can connect all the pieces, and then, of course, all the joints would be glazed over. A big part of this structure is how condensed the pieces are. Since New York is a very cramped place, we wanted to make sure all these pieces would be brought to the site without any special delivery needed.

Deprivation Maze Architecture 202 Instructor: Ayodele Iyanalu In Collaboration with: Evan Corkery We were given the challenge of creating a space that allows you to explore it ritually. The space had to create a feeling that was forced onto the person. We wanted to use architecture to design a space that would force your emotions to change and force your body physically through the space. That is where we had then designed the Deprivation Maze. This maze has a concrete box in the center that takes away sound and light—leaving you with just your thoughts. Inside of this space, we provide meditative areas where users can ritually experience this space. Outside of that, the box is surrounded by a maze put together with x and v façade modules created earlier in the semester. Both modules are held up by unique structure systems connected with pinned connections, allowing the space to change constantly. Inside the space, the v-module is used like an accordion wall that allows specific doorways to open and close. The interior is also forever changing however the user pleases.
