Indianola Informal Elementary School

Autumn 2022 • Studio Instructor Jacqueline Gargus

The new Indianola Informal Elementary School provides progressive-style education to K-5 children in Columbus. Playing on the intersection of city and nature: public areas face the busy, shielding the classrooms from distractions while classroom and library views are directed toward the lush ravine. Traversing the building, one steps down through four classroom domains, observing active collaboration between students. Dynamic classrooms with collapsible glass doors that can be opened to merge the interior and the exterior.

Vitra Chair Pavilion 03

Vitra Chair Pavilion

Spring 2022 • Studio Instructor Zelig Fok

Situated on the site of the Vitra Design Campus, the pavilion serves to showcase a chair from the collection. To create this form, a plastic corner piece was unrolled and refolded per the steps outlined on the right. The resulting pavilion allows visitors to examine and interact with the chair, offering sneak peaks through ground level openings, inviting visitors to climb to chair viewing height. Upon arrival, the hovering platform on which the chair rests offers viewers a chance to take a seat without encouraging them to overstay.

In the Manner of...

Autumn 2021 • Studio Instructor Katy Viccellio

In The Manner Of... was a challenge to re-imagine the freshly completed Hidden House project in the style of an established architect. The image on the right is a direct reference to Tatiana Bilbao’s Ways of Life composition, pictured below. The Hidden House was exploded and parsed through ink drawings then collaged back together atop a vibrant background of recolored nature scenes and impressionist depictions of trees. Inked scale figures take over the new space.

Vitra Design Center, Warehouse, and Museum

Spring 2022 • Studio Instructor Zelig Fok

Interrupting the typical warehouse, a north/south grid following the orientation of the Vitra Campus was duplicated and offset to organize the intersection of creative work spaces and open storage. This grid pair was again duplicated and offset to direct the structure of the second-floor gallery. A mezzanine cafe acts as an intermission between creation and completion as the visitors are swept up to the gallery via a staircase that offers views along the design process playing out on floor 1.

Cincinnati ArtWorks Center

Spring 2023 • Studio Instructor Michael Baumberger

The Cincinnati ArtWorks Center serves as a museum and community gathering place for the young art ists of southwestern Ohio. This building is designed to frame a mural previ ously painted by the Art Works Mural Studio which strives to amplify creative youth through public art displays. Raising private spaces above the existing structures allows visitors to admire the mural as they climb through the galleries. At the summit, a cafe and roof garden offer direct views of downtown and the extending city fabric.

Sketches: European Arch Studies Tour

Summer 2023 • Instructor Jacqueline Gargus

Each sketch represents one of 200 plus buildings visited while traveling across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. Studied through sketching and diagramming, each building presented a unique set of architectural features. From quick 30/60/90 exercises to ten minute studies, the sketches analyze detail and materiality, as well as overall shell and assembly. The wide range of history and innovation is unified by viewing the structures through pen and paper, sparking one-to-one comparison.
