Submission #317 | Timothee Mercier and Ian Lee: Bronx Supportive Living & Farming — “The housing project is an attempt to bring farming back to the Bronx residents in its current urban context, assimilating urbanism and agriculture – providing a new, intimate proximity with food.

Submission #304 | Andrea Cappiello: Monastic Archive — “The word ‘archive’ generally indicates a working system structured towards the efficient recall of items. This idea of a predominantly passive collection changes when buildings are involved because a work of architecture can be argued to be an existing archive.

Submission #145 | Cameron Fullmer: Polar Flux — "This project was completed as a part of the Arctic Design Group (ADG) traveling studio in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway; the northern-most permanent settlement in the world. Under the pilotage of Dr. Matthew Jull and Leena Cho (founders of ADG and Kutonotuk), I studied the conditions of coastal material fluctuation, permafrost resilience, and seasonal accessibility: all defining factors in Arctic urbanism."
Rahid Cornejo: Networked Infrastructures — The main idea was to take the area underneath Interstate 78 and use it as a means to bring these areas together by creating sculpture parks, agricultural harvesting, community gardens, and educational and artistic programs. All of these programs can be used to create giant parks within the areas that are abandoned due to existing infrastructural systems...
