01 housing blocks FRANKLINTON, OH COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO STUDIO HONOR BOOK AWARD CRITICS: ROB LIVESEY AND BART OVERLY TEAM: ALI SANDHU, JAMES AMICONE, MYSELF GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
Franklinton Housing aimed at providing maximum diversity of housing typologies from predesign phases of precedent research. The challenge of the project was the length of the site and its unusual thinness. Our solution was to subdivide the site into 8 equal blocks, with Broad street as its center. Each 175’ x 105’ block then uses the same 17.5’ grid to bring consistency across the blocks. These dimensions were established due to their flexibility to perform in various housing and building typologies from townhomes to tower. Public buffer zones occupy the space between blocks and are activated by the programming on the street level across the site. The symmetry across Broad Street sets up pair relationships according to the blocks proximity to Broad. Each pair utilizes a formal operation (wrap, extrude, shear, screen) to relate to its counterpart. The result is eight unique blocks and four unique pairs.
Center: Broad Street as center to generate pair relationships across the two halves
Scale: Franklinton streets extended into site to divide it into 8 equal blocks

02 inside/outside W/ JAMES AMICONE CRITIC: BETH BLOSTEIN GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
This study is based on two assumptions: the black box theatre is windowless; the window is a visual threshold between two spaces. Our interest began in the digital modeling of intersecting surfaces introduced through the power and naiveté of the computer. From that, we became interested in how to physically make that space of an impossible architecture where two surfaces defy the Pauli Exclusion Principle. In doing this, we hope to achieve the ambiguity of interior/exterior relationships as seen in the film, “Rear Window”. When two surfaces cross eachother, two exterior sides intersect to create a new type of interior space. This is the resultant space that we hoped to form. We named this the “Blip window”. It does not exist with a material presence, but rather becomes a volumetric container in which two spaces simultaneously exist and interact.

03 Scholar’s Institute CINCINNATI, OH SITE/RESIDENTIAL STUDIO CRITIC: BOB BURNHAM UNDERGRADUATE: 3RD YEAR
A predetermined mixed-use program had to accomodate both fellow scholars and multi-family residential on a site acting as a hinge near the University of Cincinnati. Sociopolitical conditions are used as a tool for form-making as a scholars institute and market housing are integrated adjacent to eachother on the same site. I was interested in the multifaceted contextual relationships that could be established by the demographic range of users on the site. The fellows are placed in a tower that overlooks the greater context, while market housing is inserted into the drastic contour of the site, establishing its permanent nature and residential belonging. A pedestrian path operates in the margins, bringing people through the margins of political and volumetric instantiations.

04 The Reliance Building CHICAGO, IL CRITIC: ASHLEY SCHAFER AND STEPHAN PETERMANN (OMA)
This studio proposed design interventions for seminal office buildings through the US. A four week design project was preceded by 12 weeks of thorough building research. The Reliance was built in two phases. The first was the base designed by John Root and completed in 1891. The second was the tower designd by Charles Atwood completed four years later. However, our research led us to notice a third chunk of the reliance. At the seventh floor, the floor-to-floor height, the program, plan density, and circulation change. Highlighting this “switch� became a design initiative along with opening up the solid party walls with windows and re-proposing the timeshare office plan. Private offices in the bays punctuate the collaborative workspace. This is valauable in that the building was a time share building for Chicago doctors for downtown office hours. We wanted to restore this condition in a contemporary office space.

05 Space Studies PERFORMALISM SEMINAR CRITIC: STEPHEN TURK GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
This study investigates similar ideas of space shared between the early paintings of Zaha Hadid and the megastructures of the Halo Forerunner species. Warped ground plans, romantic scenography, surface treatments, and anti-gravity conditions are topics of interest.

06 Fitness Center CHICAGO, IL STUDIO RECOGNITION HONOR CRITIC: JERRY LARSON UNDERGRADUATE: 4TH YEAR
The fitness center is a critique on a building’s ability to occupy and engage the ground of a site. Infill towers generally use all of the footprint of a site, resulting in hard streetfront conditions that politcize interiors and exteriors. The fitness center hugs the boundary of the Chicago Tribune site with interior voids that create sportyards for public use. The relationship from the lifted volume to the exterior is filtered and erased through the gilled facade, while the relationship to the courtyards is emphasized through glazing. The hotel on top of the center acts as a formal backdrop the activities happening below. The pedestrain bridge crosses the river, connecting to the continuous river-walk to the south. The final form is a lowlying organism creating new datums and negotiations with the surrounding towers.

08 Manhattan Theater NEW YORK, NY STUDIO HONOR BOOK AWARD CRITIC: BETH BLOSTEIN GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
The proliferation of independent music production shifts the paradigm in the artist-listener relationship. This project looks to concretize that condition. With artists utilizing the networks and platforms available to them, and not utilzing the infrastrcuture of a record label, this theater does the same. It sheds the support program. It it simply three gold theaters hovering in a self-referential, equal x-y-z frame. The rule of the grid is that it continues forever, until stopped. Here, the regulatory codes of the city (parcel lines, height requirements, and set backs) govern the extents of the grid. Circulation to the theaters happen through the adjacent buildings and move through the frame, establishing the artists and their performances as fleeting and existing within the social interface of the internet-work.

09 Children’s Museum LOUISVILLE, KY LCM IDEAS COMPETITION 2ND PLACE OVERALL TEAM: KYLE ZOOK, YU KONO, MYSELF UNDERGRADUATE: 3RD YEAR
The Louisville Children’s Center intertwines children with urban and natural environments. The built form becomes a tool intended to engage the child with his or her surroundings while developing a sense of place within Louisville. The form of the center is derived from the generation of pedestrian axis, which produces three distinct programmatic masses that facilitate a central communal space. The exhibit mass situates itself on the south side of the site, creating a dialogue with the library as it is similar in its nature of learning. The play and ancillary mass positions itself on the northeast corner where it compliments the dynamism of the adjacent exterior. These programmatic elements are then lifted to create a visual transparency across the site, encouraging pedestrian movement throughout the urban fabric. A perforated skin formally unifies the three masses while maintaining the visual connection between the interior and exterior.

010 A drawing of misreadings CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO CRITIC: SANDHYA KOCHAR GRADUATE: 2ND YEAR
As a proposal for the “Arch-out-loud” Nuclear landmark competition, the device of confusion is deployed to confuse the location of the waste, creating decoys. The biases of architectural represenation are used to conceal the location of hazardous waste. Is it a world map or a desert? Are annotations monuments, objects, or nothing? Is is a title block or a space? Are shadows real or fake? Is this a manual or digital drawing?

011 “Walls” ROME, ITALY STUDIO HONOR BOOK AWARD CRITIC: BEN WILKE GRADUATE: 2ND YEAR
What we understand as Rome is the area that is enclosed by the Aurelian Walls. The walls were built by citizens under the decree of emporor Aurelian in the third century as a defence structure to deter and stop intruders. The wall had 19 original gates and 271 towers every 30 meters to create in theory a very consistent construction, but what we find is that the wall is far more that what we understand as a simple tool of division. One-eighth of the wall incorporated existing strcutures, and some areas of the wall had a gallery on the inside that one could inhabit. The towers all had staircases that took you up to the rampart walk, so that the army could inhabit the roof to shoot down on enemies. It was purely functional as a devisive element. But the wall is now no longer needed. The walls that were forced to face the outside for 1700 years now defend nothing, but instead welcome everyone inside.However, I still argue that the wall is a monument of sorts. A look at ancent maps show us that the wall is always present as more than a datum. But with the appeal of the interior monuments, the wall has a contemporary problem. It is 12 miles long, not imagined as interesting, and not made much of. It is the oldest player in rome, but the most neglected. Architecturally, the aim for consistency in the construction of the wall didn’t pan out. When the prototypical arrangement was transposed onto the topographic condition of Rome, the result is many unique conditions. My desire with the project is to reassemble the wall, bringing these unique conditions into a a compiled coherence, allowing the richness of the 12 mile circuit to be feasibly explored.
