Submission #381 | Andreas Tsenis: Split — “The proposed St. Clair Nature Center explores the concept of a cellular architectural form, primarily exploring the ideas “to Split”. The overall proposal features 7 buildings that are organized programmatically to remain distinct entities while sharing similar relationship together. The overall form was sequentially positioned to follow not only the solar and wind orientation of the site, but also defining the relationship between nature and occupiable spaces through the use of wall extensions and building gaps.”

Submission #273 | Chanakarn Assavasirisilp and Phawin Siripong: A WALL MANIFESTO at US/MEX BORDER — “The Project is focusing on exploring ideas and program typologies of a public border park, creating a radical paradigm based on our manifesto. By understanding the context of US/MEX border area, we have proposed various typologies of excitement park activities as a combination of 3 zoning; sports activities, gathering area and relax area, which we believe they could bring a lot of fun to the border, attract and gather people from both side, creating new community paradigms shift at outskirt.”

Submission #148 | Drew Heller: Power Wall — "Artwork is no longer to be consumed within a ‘monumental’ time frame, open for a universal public; rather, it elapses with factual time, for an audience ‘summoned’ by the artist” - Nicolas Bourriaud, Relational Aesthetics. The monument has been reborn in contingent form. The historical event no longer exists within universal memory, rather memory is recycled, distorted and produced through transient presents. Public, once a solid, is now liquid and relational. Considering collective identity as relational attaches its production to the friction of bodies."

Submission #99 | Mordvintseva Elizaveta, Glinskaya Maria, Nechitailova Irina: The wall. New function — The theme of the project we are presenting appeared in MSUA (moscow state university of architecture) in the beginning of the 20 century. We were supposed to design a club, not a night club, but a club for people, having similar interests. We were given a huge area in the centre of Moscow to place our club there. The three of us decided that the ares is too big for one club, and we started thinking about placing three connected buildings there.

Jamison Sweat: Death of the Detail — "With the removal of the joint, more specifically, in the discourse of contemporary architecture, surface continuity and the diagram reign supreme. Jointless modernist organisms work so hard to detail in ways that hide the actual mechanics and ontological condensation of how buildings come into being. Tectonic is described in two realms, one pertaining to ontology, or how things come into being, and the other as representational, or the representation of a constructional element, which is present, but hidden."
