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.”

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 #378 | Gregory Rendon Jr: Infill Housing — “Located in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia, the objective was to create an apartment complex, garden & carriage house on a corner lot. This project was developed from two main concepts. The primary concept is using a dynamic built-in structure to mold furniture and create unique spacial conditions. The scheme of this design is folding a monolithic plane to serve multiple functions while removing the interpretation of what is a floor, wall, and roof. The second concept is a vertical public space that resides in the interior of the building. Illuminated by a system of skylights from above, this serves as the anchor of the social space while also illuminating the units with natural light through the interior. Materiality was carefully chosen to maintain the urban fabric while introducing a contemporary building.”

Submission #371 | Dhruva Lakshminarayanan: Respite In Cacophony — “Our sensibilities, therefore, have been doctored through the years to imagine this Disney land like, stereotypical representation of the city, when the reality is as diverse, as the google images suggest sameness. Before actually arriving here, I too fell victim to this ‘surreal façade’, contriving a glitzy, glamorous cityscape to be my future abode.”

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.”

Within this system, the original otherwise fixed 220 unit berths are given a double occupancy throughout the cycle of a single day.”

Submission #354 | Jakob Krauss, Alexander Jerosch-Herold, Micha Kretschmann: Stadthaus Bonn — “As the former capital of West Germany, Bonn is one of many European cities faced with the question of how to reurbanise itself. But what do we mean when we talk about reurbanisation? In our work, we interpret »reurbanisation« as the endeavor to reintegrate the functionally segregated city and the coexistence within it that have been lost as a result. In Bonns’ topographical and administrative heart lies the »Stadthaus« [City Hall].”

Submission #343 | Kyle Troyer: Postdigital Mishaps — “The result is a project that remains sensible to computation as an inescapable part of our reality. It explores the irresponsibilities of photogrammetry, texture mapping, and insertion of materiality in today's postdigital world. It plays with the current recognition of our true state of the digital, and exaggerates it similar to how the Baroque interpreted the Renaissance. ​ Images of Borromini's San Carlo Quattro Fontane are photo-mapped in incorrect ways and given physical artifact to trace the consequences of the image's presence throughout the design.”

Submission #342 | Renzo Lopez and Richard Jaffe: Sensorial Ambiguity — “Despite this long running inequality of marketing and promotion, during the 2016 Rio Olympic season the Paralympics broke worldwide audience records by eclipsing the audience of the main, heavily marketed Olympics by 500 million worldwide viewers to reach a total audience of 4.1 billion. Given this condition along with the hidden, underappreciated nature of the Paralympics, it is the goal of this Project to create a spatial experience which will promote and enhance the public perception of Paralympic athletes.”

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.”

Good schools and education environment would be the key to the social and economic development of a place through preparing the future human resources. In other words, how can we expand our society and improve it if we cannot dilate our own minds?”

Submission #332 | Rana El Dakkak: Soul Treat — “The design concept of the project was mainly inspired by a natural element as nature has a strong relationship with the human’s well-being. The natural inspiration for Soul Treat design concept was the tree leaves. The project’s site has different types of trees and each tree has different leaves shape; this triggered the idea of the natural inspiration for this project.”
