Submission #279 | Matteo Gawlak and Riccardo Gialloreto: The New Yorker — “Opposite to the anonymous architecture of the skyscrapers that don’t take in account the context of the city, its identity, and the lifestyle, The New Yorker wants to be a specific answer for the city of New York, land where high-rise buildings were born.”
Submission #161 | Sapeer Hillel — "This thesis engages a discovery about the simultaneity of ground, decomposing of podiums, deferring of floor plates, and creating new, un-recognizable identities that deal with scale, distance, and proximity between these entities. As Jeffrey Kipnis describes in the lecture “Discrimination”, different relationships to the ground land are called out. Mies Van Der Rohe’s Farnsworth House can be described as having a performative relationship to the land.
Submission #109 | Jasper Gregory: Vanishing Indexicality — The task of this project was to choose an original floor plan of a house, index it via diagrams, then transgress the diagrams into a 3D model. The requirements also consisted of choosing a dress from the designer Issey Miyake, produce drawings and then create a 3D digital model.
Lian Ren and Shuo Yang: THE CORE — "THE CORE is a social housing project located in Bronx, New York. Our housing design explores the possibility to live in various cores in order to maximize density and light. All of these cores provide structural support for all the floor structure, which is waffle slabs. The public cores are located in the center of each block to connect all the unit cores on the four sides. All the unit cores are very densely placed near the perimeter to allow for more sunlight and cross ventilation."
Sara Ibrahim and Suzan Ibrahim: Hyperbuilding — A Hyperbuilding that embodies a taxonomy of precedent floor plans. This calls for an architecture that is completely inclusive, temporary and permanent, monumental and miniature, historic yet advanced, but most importantly a cultural, economic, and a social experiment of a vertical conglomerate.
