Pr oject Des cr iption: I. S. A. _ Intellectual School of Architecture, is a transforamable environment that adapts and transforms to support multi-functional interaction and improve with the exoteric aptitude of architecture.

This design project investigates how transparency coupled together with transforming spaces can break the architectural field from holding itself unapproachable and bringing it to an approachable s t a t e.

Pr oject Des cr iption: Located at a post war zone in homs Syria, this suspended Middle School takes the form of a “ Burqa � in order to bring the mothers perspective to the students, who have lost their families during the war. Additionally, the burqua approach allows the school to hover obscurely over the post war zone. The design implements a dialogue between old vs. new with an exterior shell that blends in with the existing old. This approach is meant to distract attention away from the school.

Pr oject Des cr iption: Our group gre fascinated with phenomenon which is represented by folding and applying twnsion to the material. Fascinating and elegant shapes may be folded from a single planar shetof materialwithout stretching, cutting, or tearing, if one incorporates cur ved foldes into the design. We present an optimization-based computational framework for design and physical reconstruction of sur faces which can be produced by cur ved folding. Our work not only contributes to applications in architecture and design but also the phenomena of sur face folding.

1) Cut a square from a 4’ by 8’ sheet of material.

2) Offset 1.5” inwards and cut out the inner square.

3) Score diagonally and fold in half.

4) Have two of those interlock each other.

5) Screw two 32/6” holes on both sides and lock with bolts and hex nuts.

6) Bring two corners together, screw holes, next fasten with bolts and nuts.

7) Finished unit.
