386 / Seda Petrosyan: Recognizable in Plan Not in Section

Submission #386 | Seda Petrosyan: Recognizable in Plan Not in Section — “Office building for a tech company in Playa Vista, Ca. This thesis attempts to convey spatial experiences through a plan by re-purposing (reconceptualizing, re-imagining) quintessential modernist examples of the twentieth century, that were designed with the free plan and their own, already known, volumetric characteristics. The attempt is to challenge the notion of a plan by revisiting ambiguity in architecture through a close reading of traditional representation.”

382 / Eric Peters and Alex Storz: Institute for Film

Submission #382 | Eric Peters and Alex Storz: Institute for Film — “Through investigations of formal interpretations of cinematic terminology, we developed a proposal for an Institute for Film, located in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. The film's experience at its core is storytelling. Through the use of perspectival shifts and conceal/reveal, plots and subplots unfold before you. As we combined such cinematic elements, our concept emerged as “Suspension of Disbelief.”

281_Marco Nieto: Ashes to Ashes

Submission #281 | Marco Nieto: Ashes to Ashes — “My proposal seeks to create a permanent and spiritual fixture in the fabric of the ever-changing and ethereal festival that is Burning Man, reinventing its identity. This will be done by integrating the process and materiality of ash, utilizing its sustainable potential and intimate meaning to those who participate to create a new program that melds industry and institution, creating a familiar yet foreign sight in the middle of the desert.”

219_Peter Hsi: Inner Skyline

215_Alejandra Cardenas: Retirement Community

Submission #215 | Alejandra Cardenas: Retirement Community — "For my project I studied the relationship between the Bed, Door, and Window and was most interested by the relationship between the door and window. As you enter the unit you walk into 8’ tall ceiling not knowing the ceiling slopes to a 20’ until you walk around and experience the room. The wall size windows allow each individual to fully showcase a large collection of personal jottings and memorabilia giving full control to the residents to personalize the units as they wish.

Submission #214 | Iryady Redzuan: Georgetown Design Cultivation Museum — "Collective Space + Reflexivity Order; The principal of collective space in architecture is to inspire regarding the introversion of public experience towards a building, the intervention on how people interact with the space, and how the space then interacts with the world."

147_Rafaela Paes: City of Spirits

Submission #147 | Rafaela Paes: City of Spirits — "The proposal is motivated by two central aspects.

A seamless integration with the architectural geometry allows for an urban experience on the ground level. Transparencies employed throughout the building celebrate the harmonious separation of program. "

101_Mary A. Alvarez: Architecture of Metanoia

Submission #101 | Mary A. Alvarez: Architecture of Metanoia: A Study of Space and the Transformation of Consciousness — The current state of our collective consciousness creates in our surrounding the physical manifestation of a world prioritized and driven by economic forces. Our capitalist system encourages a culture of endless consumption, and disregards that our natural environment is the most essential resource for our continuing survival; we are facing an awareness crisis in addition to the environmental one.

75_Pankhuri Malhotra: Muwaileh Public Library

Pankhuri Malhotra: Muwaileh Public Library — This project aimed at introducing a new construct into the urban fabric of an otherwise mundane setting. Since each building on the given site followed the same typology, my approach was to ensure that the visitors of the library enjoyed an internalised experience and this was achieved by using perforated bricks.

66_Aglae Rodriguez: Stains of the Future

Aglae Rodriguez: Stains of the Future — After studying the responses of figures in the Rorschach test, it makes me think that perception better fits the subconscious mind.

For this reason, the message of my work is very personal and changes in the mind of each person.
