Submission #380 | Samuel Pruitt: Axonometric — “This conceptual collision expresses the idea of a collective assemblage of parts from the project's neighborhood, both from the specific typological idiosyncrasies to the more general "building blocks" taken from the dimensions of conventional residential complexes of the Mexican War Streets (Pittsburgh, PA). The drawing style expresses the underlying complexities of the project while also referencing the form and programmatic functionality of the building.”

Submission #349 | Jonathan Ben David: Terra Nullius: “Terra Nullius is situated at the southern coast of the city of Jaffa, once a busy Arab metropolis, and today a poverty stricken neighborhood on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, Israel, undergoing dramatic gentrification. The projects aims to trace the traditional violence stirring identities of the middle east, and replace them with alternative frame of reference in which individuals can gather upon, no matter of nationality or religious belief.”

Submission #341 | Esraa Abu El Rub: INVASION — “Invasion is a mixed used development above E11 highway that bridges the gap in the city that occurred due to the highway. Hence, the concept approach of the project is to enhance walkability in the neighborhood by following the Flow of pedestrians traveling between the different gathering points. However, the Flow is simulated using Swarm Technology, and the form of the project has followed its lines. Invasion aims to create an urban hub in the city with a dense program that attracts people with different interests.”

Submission #311 | Christoph Bachmann: The Green Gallery — “The task in the second semester of mine back in 2016 was to draft a housing project situated in a neighborhood. Dealing with two fire breaking walls limiting the building site was the core theme here. Additionally windows in these walls were not allowed as they would have been too expensive.”

Submission #131 | Ashish Bhandari: [Un]ser house — "For this project we had to replace a middle school in Ann Arbor. I designed the middle school to be used by the students during school hours and by the community during off hours. The design was settled by looking into the surrounding neighborhood for context and the major programs of the school acted as the "homes" and the public space acted as the "street". I was looking into how the major programs could influence how the building and the student reacted within the "middle" and how that space could be engaged.
