The Gamification Of Modern Medicine Immersive Reality Center is located on The University of Buffalo’s Downtown campus, where land is also jointly shared with the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Immersive virtual reality (immersive VR) is the presentation of an artificial environment that replaces users’ real-world surroundings convincingly enough that they are able to suspend disbelief and fully engage with the created environment.

Immersiveness is an important element of virtual reality applications, such as VR gaming and VR therapy. Augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) are poised to change our world in ways that are just now being discovered.

AR/ VR is used in multiple areas, such as scene understanding; object tracking and registration; multi-modal rendering; machine intelligence; and interfaces and usability.

Development in this incubator can include medical training and real-time augmentation, therapeutic applications, the use of VR for autism education, and athletic injury avoidance and mitigation. One tool that is being embraced by therapists, counselors, teachers, parents and their children to help those with autism to better communicate and connect with others and the world around them is VR. It is also being used to help others without autism to understand what living with the condition means. Many argue that there is no other medium that comes as close to putting you in someone else’s shoes as VR. AR/ VR can be used in almost every facet of not only education, but in life itself. It can be a great tool for learning, understanding, simulations, and even for leisure purposes. into

Education is the base for a thriving society. VR can transform the way educational content is delivered. It is a great way to enhance the student learning experience and engagement.

VR is powerful in many ways. With the use of an artificial 3d environment, users can get a better sense of place. With this technology, learning experiences can be scaled. Students and professionals can simply learn by doing. Inclusively adding new technology can inspire learners to discover more things for themselves. Emotional reactors can also be engaged. Not just for educational purposes, but VR/ AR can be used for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health therapy.

In addition to incubator space, living arrangements will also be provided.

With four different unit types, students and professionals will have room to choose. Units were conventionally created to give choice to whomever decided to occupy them, based on spatial needs.

A close knit community of single mothers continuing their education

Single student mothers are growing in both absolute numbers and as a share of the college population. They often face significant financial and time related obstacles that make it difficult for them to persist to graduation. Single mothers face many more problems than a traditional student may face. The number of single mothers in college more than doubled over the last 20 years. Women of color are likely to be a single mother compared to other races and ethnicities. 4 in 10 women in college say that they are likely or very likely to drop out of school due to their dependent care obligations. Caring for a child takes up a significant amount of time. factor in a single mother’s academic success.

The interior features a series of playful continuous curved partition walls, stimulating a non traditional system of room separation while engaging children’s desire to explore and play.

The curved partitions create all the shared spaces of the co-op, which include play areas, kitchen, dining room, reading room, and a flexible entertainment space. A series of alternating arches further change the relationship of each area, creating a layered and crossed visual interest. Subtractions in the partitions occur to allow children, as well as their mother, to stride, rest, and play. Linking the public and the private space is a glass vestibule, allowing circulation between the shared spaces and the private living units. The living units contain the basic amenities of an efficiency apartment.

Connected Fa l l , 2018 Inc l usi ve Desi g n R es earc h Group

To provide for inclusion of diversit y in campus living, dining options, and physical activities UB has students not only from across the country, but from around the world. Being able to bring diverse cultures, ideologies, and interests into a community would bring about a better student life experience. Exposure to different people and ways of living can be a very nourishing experience for students.

“Connected” fosters to bring together open minded progressive students, who are interested in knowing who they are, learning from each other, and celebrating diverse perspectives. With a wider range of housing and dining options, “Connected” will attract more students than the traditional dormitories located on campus.

Target population is first year students all the way to graduate students. The flexibility of the room types enables students to create a community in which they can reside within

this complex for their entire college career.

Students in the first year start on the second floor, move their way up to the fourth or to the residence hall on the eastern side of the complex.

The design of spaces provide a continuous indoor route for students using the building as a shortcut. All programs on the ground floor are connected via heated glass bridges. Direct access to programs on ground level invites public usage of the spaces and the courtyards. One of the facades blurs the boundary of the surface which opens and enables the indoor space to expand outdoor, so its external environment can flow in.

A l l en to w n’s Ne w Mo d er n A r t Mu s eu m Reflectance is the new addition to the Allentown art scene. The museum creates a presence that engages both Allen st and Delaware ave. We aimed to created a mysterious entrance into the museum. Visitors travel through the pavilion to get to the main gallery spaces. The pavilion is also a reflectance of what Allentown is, artsy during the day and come alive at night. Within the pavilion you’ll find the form, cafe, and a top floor viewing area to watch projections or digital installations that can be displayed on the glass brick facade of the gallery building. The gallery relies on reflective materials, such as glass.

Gallery spaces remain the same from floor to floor showing different exhibitions on each floor.

The gallery spaces are also very flexible when it comes to the size of the art work being displayed.

Light wells are adapted into the scheme to bring light down into all of the spaces inside. The front and back facade is wooden planks. The roof also contains a private garden space for employees of the museum. On the ground level there is a reflectance pond, which creates a nice reflection of the gallery building. The buildings are connected via a glass bridge, which a garden sits behind it.

Flexible Pav i l ion The pavilion is designed to be used flexibly, in both summer and winter. During the winter, the glass panels facing the gallery building is in place acting as a wall protecting from the harsh winter elements. During the summer, the glass panel walls are retractable to give guests the feeling that they’re indoors and outdoor at the same time. This makes the experience of the gallery much more enjoyable.

UB School Of Music Fa l l , 2017 Desi g n Stud i o

A l l en to w n’s Ne w Mo d er n A r t Mu s eu m The UB school of Music is in tuned with student and community engaged. The school itself will act as a hub for students, visiting musicians, and the nearby community. The building itself is interactive. With a habitable roof, patrons can meander to the very top and catch view across the campus, more so than what they are used to seeing it. The actual structure itself becomes a balance of infrastructure and apart of the campus’ landscape, by forging a new typology of an urban building for the campus. The design have the hallmarks of a ramp, sloped in two different directions. The building is made up of three narrow nodes, which in the center has the main performance space. The other two nodes hosts administration offices, classrooms, student practice rooms, the library, and lounge areas.

All three nodes extend over the entire site. On the exterior, the nodes are separated by two courtyard spaces, which can be used by students of the music school and others that are passing by. Within these courtyards are window walls, to allow views in and out, which in turn also brings in a lot of natural light to the building. The initial building starts at a lower more intimate level, then gets progressively higher as more space for programmatic demands rise. Approaching the building, it is close to a newly built parking ramp and two other existing parking lots, which makes it easier to walk to the building for students as well as the community. The aesthetic of the building will keep in line with the typology of the surrounding buildings on campus.
