CIVILIZED WILDNESS

A KINDERGARTEN FOR ECOLOGICAL DISASTER

CIVILIZED WILDNESS

Architectural Design Studio 01 critic:

Adam Dayem

A kindergarten for ecological disaster. One which allows students to realize that civilization is not something that exists outside of wildness and that nature and wildness are both cultural constructs. This kindergarten is without corridors and acts as a Palladian villa in terms of circulation. All accidental encounters that occur moving through the spaces cause friction and threaten the way we live as a society. Rather than eradicating the social experience, this kindergarten encourages no peace, no security, and no segregation. Perforations in the façade allow not only for an immediate engagement with nature but also for other species to inhabit the kindergarten. This kindergarten is set back into the post-industrial worlds romanticized definition of nature but looks out on the inherent beauty but ugly reality of a manufactured landscape. ‘Civilized Wildness’, an off-grid project, allows the future generation to realize that they are a part of nature too.

CULTIVATED CHAOS

INTERGENERATIONAL CENTER OF TROY, NY

CULTIVATED CHAOS

Architectural Design Studio 02 critic: Anthony Titus

Cultivated Chaos is a structure which serves as a critique of an urban playground by allowing intergenerational communities and the concept recreation to come together to discover or rediscover a connection with seasonality in the city’s public spaces. Rather than eradicating the potential of public spaces throughout all seasons, this intervention allows for youngers and elders to experience and negotiate how seasonal changes of Downtown Troy can be seen as useful and enjoyable, rather than frowned upon or fought against. The face of the building features apertures, containing colored glazing that adds a sense of dynamism and play to the scheme. By bringing together youngers and elders into a place which encourages intergenerational exchange and enjoyment with the seasons through flexible design, accessibility, and transparency, our society’s perception of generational gap and nature in the city’s public spaces change, creating a cultivated chaos.

CULTURAL ENCRYPTION TRANSLATING THE BENNINGTON MUSEUM

CULTURAL ENCRYPTION

Architectural Design Studio 03 critic: Yael Erel

American museums are going through an identity crisis. They seek relevance to stave off the pandemic-induced economic decline, but relevance means tackling race, a topic they’ve been unprepared for and therefore reluctant to face. Cultural Encryption, an addition, and renovation project of the Bennington museum located in Vermont transforms what was an impassive institution, into a community center that can cultivate the relationship between visitors and collections, and encourage them to share their life experiences. The structure serves as a critique of an American museum by taking what is left when colonization and white supremacy are removed from the scheme. Utilizing existing structural elements to create a gridded system, a series of beams, columns, and ramps re-frame the museum and welcome new interpretations and cultural perspectives.

SOCIAL REPENTANCE

ABSOLUTION FROM THE CITY’S SIN

SOCIAL REPENTANCE

Architectural Design Studio 04 critic: Michael Stradley

Social Repentance is an adaptive reuse project situated in the carcass of the decommissioned Saint Mary’s church in Troy, New York. Violently mutilated, the remains of Saint Mary’s church restrain the structure and serve as a critique of the city’s abandonment of its sanctuary yet also unveil the new renaissance of interaction at both the individual and communal scale. Social Repentance, a civic intersection, houses 30 individual residents and a social matrix; wrapped in concrete ramps that climb the walls of the in-between space, an open place where visitors can choose to retrace their steps. Away from where documentation is housed and living is privatized, this physical structure serves as nodes that revitalize the public experience rather than eradicating it. By encouraging civic exchange through flexible design, accessibility, and transparency, our society’s perception of the city’s public spaces can change creating a social cohesion.

HEMP REBAR FACTORY AND

SCULPTING RETREAT

MINEVILLE, NEW YORK

HEMP REBAR FACTORY AND SCULPTING

RETREAT

Architectural Design Studio 05 critic: James Fleet Hower

The hemp rebar factory and sculpting retreat is housed in a decommissioned iron ore factory, allowing the public to escape their daily lives on weekends. The project exemplifies the new renaissance of hemp as a material not only on the manufacturing scale but also on the consumer scale.

The project allows cannabis to be perceived for its recreational and spiritual vibes, but also for its industrial fibers, seed oils, and food. Remotely situated in a long abandoned mine, in Mineville, New York, an hour away from Lake Placid, New York, Lake George, New York, and Burlington, Vermont, the retreat offers endless pleasurable activities on and off the grounds of what once was a place where workers would spend countless hours hunched over and crawling, without a single opportunity to stand up or stretch.
