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 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. 10

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.
