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 #269 | Gary Polk: Ambivalent Object VI: Gigantic — “From Ptolemy to the Pixies, humans find both fascination and fear in the gigantic. Ironically, little attention has been paid to the form and shape of data centers, Iceland’s newest rapidly developing crop, which often combines geothermal dynamics with information architecture to be housed in gigantic volumes.”

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 #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.
