Feb 9 367 / Mateo Mantilla: THE BRANCH

Submission #367 | Mateo Mantilla: THE BRANCH — “ The corner of Congress & Drayton St. (Savannah, GA) served as a parking lot located next to BB&T. The emptiness of this space made the surrounding buildings considerably bigger and heavier which made this side of Johnson Square a very uncomfortable place to be. The contrast between the lightness and comfort in the square and the heaviness of the site inspired this project, which has the intention to unify the opposing concepts of heaviness and lightness through its architecture and materiality.”

Submission #362 | Kelly Deak: Architectural Allusion of the Everyday Object — “The material panel system alludes towards an everyday object, the button, which is used to impose or imply formal association. Here the button is looked at in terms of materiality, not the physical, but rather its functionality and properties. The button-like panel systems consist of a button case, free-flowing joints, and low resolution projected shadows.”

Submission #261 | Leetee Wang and Marianne Sanche: Church of AI — “A contemplation of reciprocity between automation and human intervention. This architectural series was formed, at first, by 2D imagery generated via online AI tools, then designed as 360 interior spaces. It explores hybridization of automated and subjective input to produce a cybernetic reality in which constructed space is transient – in a constant state of building and unbuilding.”

Submission #201 | James Frolow: Lucidity — "This task involved observing tango dancers and sketching the voids inbetween each figure. From this lines were manipulated in Rhinoceros to obscure curved forms. These forms were then sliced to acquire a faceted object which could be interpreted as a building. Students were given a brief to place this object into the North Terrace context to serve as an architectural school for the University of Adelaide."

Submission #197 | Nick Rossitch: Pool House — "The concept for Pool House, a retreat home, comes from the pastime of playing billiards. It is derived from the path a pool ball takes on the billiards table. The idea is to have the interior circulation mimic a similar movement that a pool ball would take within the boundaries of this pure form of a cube as seen on the exterior of the structure."

Submission #147 | Rafaela Paes: City of Spirits — "The proposal is motivated by two central aspects. First, the need to adapt the dependencies of the FEP (Pernambucana Spiritualist Federation, in portuguese), located in Brazil, with the growing public, and, secondly, the possibility of a speculative project based on the relationship between the architectural artifact and the divine.

Andre Lim: Continuum — This project aims to rediscover the idea of a roof, its construction techniques, materiality and overarching purpose. Relooking at the university’s existing cafeteria serves as a good medium to push the boundaries of what a roof has to offer.
