About me

My name is Bobby Deslis, and I am currently a fourth year architecture student attending Philadelphia University. Aside from design, I am also involved in the PhilaU Men’s Rowing team, and I’ve been rowing for over 7 years now. I enjoy going to the beach, socializing with friends, and exploring nature by hiking and taking road trips. Going to school on the outskirts of Philadelphia has allowed me to embed myself in its vast culture and beauty.

My concept is centered around Gulley erosion. This type of erosion carves away at the ground, and leaves overhanging earth behind. In essence, these buildings are the overhang; providing excellent views of the most important part of the site- the gulley itself.

Tower Charrette A one week class competition.

My tower’s offset design was inspired by a form my cousin and I made while playing with jenga blocks. I then morphed the tower into an entirely different project by using three command tools.

I chose to twist, stretch, and sweep my luxury tower into a Mad Scientists’s Lair.

Pavillion Charrette: Periscope Location: Philadelphia University, Thomas Jefferson University

This fun two week long competition was based on the merger of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University. My design was centered around the idea of creating a relaxing hangout space on both campuses. The Periscope is a modular unit that can be reproduced and placed nearly anywhere. When being occupied users look up and see a combination of the sky, and a reflection of the views around them, essentially creating a large scale periscope.

SIRENS/HORNS This group analysis required my team to observe Human behavior, mixed with the urban environment in center city Philadelphia. We specifically focused on the B cultural aspect of this transect. We concluded that there was a clear divide in the cultural structure of this transect due to the merging of the Arts and Business FOUNTAIN districts

Instillation Location: Arch st and 20th, Philadelphia

reviving memories

bobby deslis

Smells are processed in the Olfactory Bulb, which is directly connected to human emotions, and our memories. a series of seven nodes representing brain cell connections emit smells from various parts of our lives. Alzheimers patients would be brought here to try and evoke memories from their past, helping them remember who they are.

This D5 project started with group documentation, and analysis of the city as a whole, and ended with a proposal of what this part of the city needed most.

My group’s winning proposal was a rehab facility.

My individual design is based on the idea of getting to a higher point in life both physically, and mentally.

A series of offset ramps revolve around the garden below and get closer to the existing “Reach High and You Will Go Far” mural painted on the neighboring building. This main circulation ramp is a form of cyclical therapy, and well as a constant reminder to patients that they can achieve their goals with hard work and determination.
