Students were asked to select a site on the campus of Lehman College for a 30,000 sq-ft dormitory. Here, an existing building was chosen to be repurposed. The old gym on the top floor of a neogothic building becomes the center of all student interaction: dorms + club affairs.

1234567891011 public architecture in collaboration with Chrisoula Kapelonis & Mitchell Hagedorn -

professor adam hayes spring 2012 Studio was directed in an unconventional manner during the semester. Students were asked to step outside of their comfort zone and analyze the site through the senses of smell, touch, sound, and sight. The task was to create a space where manufacturing would take place. Our team uniquely defined the product: relationships.

1 4 8 I n d i a s t ., G r e e n p o i n t , B r o o k l y n design concept

The main design tool that carried its way through the project was the idea of “found objects.” Our analysis was inspired by the existing music, textures, foods of Greenpoint and therefore our design process was through discovering desposed material and background sounds to be reused. Attached is a CD of fabricated “music” using the sounds of Greenpoint.

professor As the J. Max Bond Center for a adam hayes Just City found its place at City spring 2012 College students of the Architecture school were asked to participate in the redesign of its new space. A 2000 sq. ft. space located on a ground floor was the new community center.

Students were asked to define what a Just City means and design it at the scale of an office.

several unique parts joining to create a

J. Max Bond was concerned with social justice and prosperity.

Because he had direct experience as an African American, his efforts were focused particularly for the African American community. Living in

NYC, our group realized that we all are different and peculiar somehow.

We are the

diversity that

makes NYC the

melting pot of the world. We all have experiences where our uniqueness is highlighted, either in positive or negative ways. There is no access to the other person’s uniqueness, in other words you may never know what it is like to be in their distinct shoes. But there’s a visual relationship; the distinction of the individual is

realized and his uniqueness is respected. These distinct individuals make up the

1234567891011 private homes professor vanessa keith fall 2012 Students started this project by choosing clients that would stimulate their creativity when designing their private residences. Here, the clients were Tyler Durden from Fightclub and Edward Daniels from Shutter Island. The similarity between these characters was that they appeared to be psychologically disoriented, in other words -- insane. The two characters needed different spaces to expose their insainty which created a harmony of public and private spaces.

The design task was to develop an museum for the Escola Massana, Barcelonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal Art and Design center. The building was to encompass the teaching philosophy and educational program of the center. The site was located across the street from the center in a busy market area.

Here, the exhibition embraces the crowd and invites them with a full gesture towards the exit of the market, La Boqueria. The building creates a descending platform as the entrance where people can linger around and relax.

library

Our task was to design a library that had a specific purpose relating to a downtown Manhattan neighborhood.

My library was a 24-hour community space that gave the neighborhood a sober place to be at anytime of the day instead of being forced to roam around shopping stores or relax at bars.

professor ali hocek fall â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;10

A thirty second scene of a movie was analyzed. The drawing was to document this critical moment abstractly . In my scene, I analyzed the light affects. After doing so, we were to portray this analysis in a three-dimensional cube. I used thread to record the reflection of light in a cube.

a picture says a thousand words. a 30 second scene in a movie says this...

We were assigned a site in Chelsea to design a residential building. After studying Maison De Verre by Pierre Chareau, I extracted its system and the malleability of its walls. My building was designed mainly in section. People that were taking a walk on the Highline were able to circulate around my building on its elevated garden.

This project was to create a space that relates to the weather.

My building, located right next to a river, collected water on it roof. This building was for three students and a scientist.

The task of this project was to define a space by combining a linear axis and a threedimensional axis. In reality, space is inhabitable, physical, and has depth. In dreams, space is unoccupiable, nonphysical, and twodimensional.

1234567891011 The task of this project was to create a professor nandini bagchee model that demonstrated the students fall ‘09 idea and perception of a ‘threshold’. fall 2012 This model portrays the definition of threshold as ‘a moment of realization or transition.’ Here, the realization phase is one’s experience when waking up from a dream into reality.

Serenity: the spirit of Geiranger. One must embrace the rule of the natural in order to play in the symphony of landscape. The terminal must sing the harmonious song of the fjord. And thus, we turned to listen. The strong presence of the seven sisters waterfalls inspired the whole system of the terminal proposed.

The waterfall became a source of energy, image of identity, and a closer and more intense experience through a new path that allows the visitors to climb the mountain following the water line.

The fractal structure of the fjord landscape became the defining pattern of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terminal, giving it the organization and elegance it needed. A light ramified surface shapes the docks, which include additional programs for locals and foreigners, such as fishing facilities, bike and kayak rental, while an organic unifying mesh covers parts of the waterfallfjord system varying in its to serve the different programs. The waterfall serves as a community center both on and off season.. control gate

There is a hunger in the Arab American community to reach individual success. But without one another the diďŹ&#x192;culty is greater and the advantages are smaller.
