COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a comprehensive professional architectural studio measuring competency across all aspects of a coordinated building design. Students prepared detailed drawings, documents, and models describing a complex building program, integrated systems and structure, and an appropriate relationship to site. Students re-visited a previous museum project from the Building Studio by adding additional programmed spaces and analyze siting choices to re-design previous concepts to better consider these additional impacts to the design. Each studented was to define and execute revisions that meet and communicated health, safety and welfare requirements, regulatory context, material acquisition and technical knowledge through diagramming. Design Position: The addition to the site is to be built, in relation to the Agricultural Heritage Museum, to promote an active learning environment for students and community members. The addition respects the form and program of the existing museum, while implementing sustainable systems, transforming it into a product of today. The new addition will not destroy historic elements and materials that characterize the property but shall be differentiated and reimagined from the existing while maintaining compatibility through massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The materials used are glue laminated timber and concrete masonry as the priamry structural components within the interior, paired along with glass curtain walls, terrecotta panels, and copper siding as the primary exterior elements. All materials utilized within the project create a warm and cohesive balance for the individuals inhabitating the space. The addition will visually connect to the Ag Heritage Museum primarily through a north/ south connection in alignment with the existing museums primary entrance dominating the south-facing entrance. An exterior courtyard/gathering space, embraced by the addition to the north and the existing museum to the south, will be in the center of the site with an open passage east to west, connecting students to and from the campus.

PROGRAM/SOFTWARE/MEDIA: Rhino 6 Revit 2020 Photoshop Illustrator COURSE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Building Studio incorporates a comprehensive approach towards integrating the specificity of technical vignettes in connection with architectural conceptualization. By analyzing, comprehending, and drafting foundation, wall, and roofing details, the understanding of construction systems and structural elements becomes better understood for further and future application.
B.1
These technical afterthoughts are then curated into a uniform composition, which abides by and is applied to the project’s parameters. The primary objective of phase one of the project was to design a site-specific gym, requiring graphic clarity through orthographic means to portray a set selection of material choices and supports throughout the entire building’s envelope (Foundation, Wall, and Roof Assemblies). The building design incorporated an entry space on the northwest, centralized restrooms, a sawtooth roofing system, and a sunken gym to meet on grade with the northeast corner of the site which has a sub 4’ difference from the southwest corner of the site. Following the completion of the gym, the space was adapted to conform to the needs of a library. Through redlining and an assortment of line types, additions and changes are made clear in contrast to the already existing structure of the gym. A second-floor mezzanine, front desk, and tiered learning spaces were the primary additions made to the original layout of the gym.
B.2
This project was centered primarily around making critical decisions on design positions while maintaining graphic clarity through numerous iterations.

TH E S CAR E D IN BET W EEN 5th Year - 2022 Fall Semester INSTRUCT ORS: Dr. Nesrine Mansour PROGRAM/SOFTWARE/MEDIA: Midjourney AI Rhino 7 Revit Lumion Photoshop Illustrator Grasshopper COURSE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This research studio provides students the opportunity to explore the concept of “the sacred” by creating digital and physical artifacts that investigate the intricate light-based complexities of sacred spaces, and the connections to various spiritual practices. The Sacred in Between studio’s theoretical and practical approach centers around Light, which is used as the primary means to examine the complex connections between space, place, and architecture, as well as human experience through research, modeling and imagery. Defining what constitutes a sacred space is a complex task, requiring an in-depth understanding of factors such as location, function, aesthetics, faith, and beliefs, which all contribute to the creation of sacredness. The focus on Light is an effective way to examine these socio-spatial complexities. To create a spatial quality that embodies a display of coruscation and brilliance both on the interior and exterior, the exploration of Artificial Intelligence, particularly Mid-Journey AI, was utilized to generate digital sketches alongside hand sketches. Mid-Journey AI enabled us to investigate two primary dichotomies, namely the sacred and the profane, to create the sketched renders. Sacred being an experience that induces the feeling of awe and profane being that of the everyday mundane. Throughout the semester, we analyzed numerous case studies to understand the spatial qualities of these dichotomies.

We analyzed both natural and artificial lighting elements through Geometry, Source, Direction, and Quality. The aim is to create an experience in which both residents and visitors see our project as a destination within Downtown Brookings that provides a calming reflective opportunity for meditation. The design problem we addressed was the lack of a space open all day for meditation and relaxation in Brookings. COLLABORATOR: Anna Hamling (4th Year)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
D.1
The vertical building design studio is a collective of students ranging from second to fifth year. The class centers around the study and production of detailed material and structural characteristics of architectural elements, including foundations, walls, floors, roofs, openings, and various construction systems. The studio aims to demonstrate the interconnectivity of conceptual and technical design criteria in building design. The class then undertook the design of an addition to the Agricultural Heritage Museum on the SDSU campus, with the vision of preserving South Dakota’s agricultural history and connecting multi-generational audiences to the significance of agriculture in their everyday lives. However, preservation should not only be directed towards the past but also towards the future. The addition is intended to showcase the importance of sustainable practices in South Dakota agriculture, with the aim to PIVOT visitors’ minds towards a sustainable future. PIVOT features a 12-foot high steel truss bridge that symbolically connects the Brookings community to the new Precision Ag building on campus. The 170-foot bridge, enclosed by translucent glass panels and wooden slates, rests upon two timber structured masses that are constructed from the central PIVOT point on the bridge. One mass cuts through the existing basement of the Ag Museum, leaving an imprint in steel columns of what once was and creating a glimpse of what will be. The PIVOT point features a fountain and a stepping site that directs visitors to the northwest corner where an active learning environment of a sustainable farm awaits. Here, visitors can explore the preservation of the future of agriculture in South Dakota in greater depth.
