URBAN STRANDS FALL 2014 | INSTRUCTOR: ALEXANDER EISENSCHMIDT Speculating a new urban vision for populating Ilfracombe in the United Kingdom with dominant vertical urban strands that surpass the linkage skyscrapers have with the ground.

While garden- and landscape- design is traditionally considered a horizontal expansion of the ground, this visionary urbanism continues the tradition to the vertical frame.

The polycentric organization of urban strands acts here in multiple ways: as a linear city, as connective urbanism, as sculpture, and as a framing device. This continuity of buildings forms a new distribution of programs, creating a less territorial plan and a more collective organization. The form of each strand has its own characteristics is defined by the surrounding landscape, its topography and the arched apertures.

Alternative to packing the landscape of Ilfracombe with traditional houses, the urban strands allow the open field to be preserved for plazas and cultural events as well as providing enough living space. One can indulge in the contrast of both the linear public hallway experience versus the stacked private areas in a urban strand.

SUPRARURAL WEB FALL 2013 | INSTRUCTOR: LLUIS ORTEGA Framing an alternative linkage between rural agricultural production and industrial urbanization through the market, a means of exchange.

The crosses connect a city as a whole, also segregate it into different local areas. This network of megastructure shapes markets with intersections and acts a magnet device, creating public gathering and centralizing the markets. With a new common level above the ground, the buildings here act as a source of movement. In the center of the routes are the markets, dominating the circulation of the city. The rhombus rural zones and the crosses with the core of the civic markets enhance public activities and gatherings, creating a new dynamic surface.

17

“Here the term landscape no longer refers to prospect of pastoral innocence but rather invokes the functioning matrix of connective tissue that organizes not only objects and spaces but also the dynamic process and events that move through them. This is landscape as active surface, structuring the conditions for new relationships and interactions among the things it supports.�

“Shopping is the medium by which the market has solidified its grip on our spaces, buildings, cities, activities and lives. It is the material outcome of the degree to which the market economy has shaped our surroundings, and ultimately ourselves.�

APERTURAL FACES SPRING 2013 | INSTRUCTOR: JOHN MANAVES Redeeming facades as faces and forming misfits and new mutating qualities through an assemblage of characteristic surfaces.

By fitting of different facades on a building, one can find misfits and ways of transitions of corners and edges. An alternative of the traditional facade with intricate ornaments, windows and bays, the installation has six facades with different thickness from thin surfaces to think solids, showing the transitioning of depth. This thickness also defines reversed spatial quality of inside and outside. The new historic exhibition center, the Charnley House in Chicago, has a transparent walk-through plaza formed by inside-out transition and segregated pockets of exhibition space with elongated circulation.

VERTICALSCAPE FALL 2012 | INSTRUCTOR: JULIA CAPOMAGGI Introducing a “city-within-a-city� through an alternative skyscraper, with a collective bundle of various programs and an embedded plaza.

Verticalscape, placed between the Michigan Avenue and the Lake Shore in Chicago, has an alternative merging of towers and a plaza in a skyscraper, forming a new hotspot and leading people from the city towards the lake. The open space on the ground level and the new elevated plaza create a new mode of public activities and act as a new foreground, introducing a new scale to the skyscraper. The three towers have void created between them, determined by the height of the surrounding buildings. From the plaza, one can view the program determined by the density change in the facade while experiencing the exterior of Verticalscape.

MEANDERING HUB SPRING 2014 | INSTRUCTOR: CHRIS FRYE Recharacterizing of public interior urban design and enhancing its spatial qualities with various scales from architectural elements to a new envelope for collective programs.

A central indoor plaza, a hub is framed with a new layer of an envelope that encloses and collects theaters. With its interior thresholds and ornamental elements, the hub has its own identity of being the center of the theaters. A linkage of the four different theaters with diverse scale and functionalities, the Meandering Hub wraps around the theaters from below and above, purposely suspending the theaters and forming segregated pockets of gallery space and public lounging areas. With the characteristics of furnitures and wall decorations, the hub becomes the dominant center of the mass.

STUDIO BERLIN SUMMER 2014 | INSTRUCTOR: JOHN MANAVES (UIC), MARTIN KLAESCHEN (IIT) Developing cultural exhibition space with local reused materials for the international urban farming exhibition.

Studio Berlin, in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago, The Illinois Institute of Technology, and School of the Art Institute of Chicago, focuses on built installations and understanding the culture in Berlin through the study of architectural precedents. The site, “Prinzessinnengarten� is a public garden in a dense urban setting. Aimed to activate unused spots of the garden with reproducible architectural installation, the project intends to create a flexible modular framework for an international exhibition on urban farming in September 2014. The walkthrough frames offer areas for displaying works as well as gathering and seating areas, enhancing social space for Berliners. The use of wooden pallets emphasizes the naturality of the farm exhibition as well as blending in with the garden full of trees and plants.

BALCONIC DOMES SPRING 2015 | INSTRUCTOR: LLUIS ORTEGA Reclaiming the interior with a new territorial assemblage of voids and secondary-order systems.

The classical dome, traditionally known to initiate public and cultural gathering space, is capable of shaping, segregating modern commercial areas and acting as a light source of the Merchandise Mart, located in Chicago, Illinois. The integration of removal of floors and directional subdivisions form their own intelligence of program distribution and circulation. The radial subdivisions, derived from Balconic Domes, perform a new field condition in the city of grids and intensify the formal qualities of the modern secondary domes.

57

By changing the intensity and manipulating the subdivision system depicted from fan vaults, arches derived from vaults are capable of forming domes. The rigorous folding of the domes is relative to the subdivisions and intercepting points of the arches.

Voids formed by domes bring light into the interior, solving the issue of depth of the Merchandise mart. Walls and subdivisions, dependent on balconies, construct misalignment and create a new field condition and a hierarchy of spatial condition.
