THESIS OVERVIEW / The continually densifying and expanding cities and urban regions of the contemporary world are supported, and literally brought into being, by vast territories of land dedicated to the production, extraction, processing and transportation of materials and resources, and their associated networks. Often a lacuna to most who reside in cities, these territories produce not only aberrant artificial ecologies (which may often have impacts on a massive scale), but also develop specific subjectivities, social relations, spatial codes, politics (both internal and global) and

INTERVENTION / Ultimately, the research of both cinematic and infrastructural elements UnderLAyed across the city informs an ephemeral architecture of cloth projection surfaces, able to deploy across pathways of previously recorded filmic history, as well as rail-anchored, protracting elements for viewing the video projections. Also, an observation tower along a specific portion of the Los Angeles River deliberately highlights the physical infrastructure of the river as cinematic backdrop.

rather an internalized urban condition described through infrastructural and human ecologies. It examines these ecologies not only as a product and producer of the city, but in many ways, also it’s foundational elements. These systems of urban description and narration are ultimately leveraged to synthesize current and historical perceptions of place. Located in Los Angeles, California, this work evaluates the capability of film and video to house explicit perspectives of place. Cinema, the city’s iconic representational medium is used to represent one small portion of the greater whole. The thesis negotiates cinematic techniques and spatial indexing to integrate a broader range of filmic representation aside from the more notable works that already exist. In doing so, a range of societal groups may then coalesce for the purpose of event, spectacle, memory and public space.

DESCRIPTOR EXPLANATION / Previous attempts to negotiate this region’s sprawling characteristics, specifically Reyner Banham’s 1971 “Four Ecologies”, attempted to develop a descriptive framework that group urban elements into the ecological models of Surfurbia, Foothills, Plains, and Autopia. While this quasi-scientific approach attempted to create analytical categories as a way of understanding the sprawl; a differing methodology of combining two partial, yet specific descriptive systems appears more practical and productive. Taking cues from Martha Rosler’s “The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems”, a photographic and poetic documentation of the Bowery district in Manhattan, one

tion of the ecologies is highlighted underneath the Sixth St. Viaduct. It is at this location a number of cinematic endeavors have been pursued. Being so, three of these films, spread across genre and era, Point Blank 1967, Grease 1978 and Repo Man 1984 were selected to showcase the methodology by which the architectural intervention would construct itself. Tracking both character pathways through the site, via foot and vehicle, as well as camera angles, the information gathered prescribes the location of a permanent steel pole infrastructure used to support deployable cloth projection surfaces. This assembly does not reflect discernible moving images, however constructs a heightened atmospheric and experiential

comes to understand that what is excluded, is in fact the subject, rather than what is included. In many ways, this thesis is interested in the recasting of Los Angeles through the descriptive technique of film (both in terms of the history of film in the city, and film as an active agent which, like Banham, continually produces new identities for the city) as well as in the technique of film itself - framing, cropping, perspective, etc. In this case, what is left out - quite literally refers to the spaces of infrastructure, marginalized populations, and the space beyond the frame or behind the cameraman. Moving from the initial research of both film and river, a concentra-

quality. Other projection surfaces within the system maintain a more functional role for cinematic viewing during community screenings or Hollywood premieres. A series of rail lines running along the western edge of the site provide further infrastructure for other deployable assets including seating, additional media and vendors. Simultaneously, levels of the observation tower, located on the east bank of the river, chronologically record films shot in the area. Within the darkened tower interior, apertures in the facade denote the specific areas of character movement within a particular scene of a particular film.

ing to the film it frames. The tower is also meant to be used as storage for retracted cloth, as well as a continuously operating hub of live social media gathered from outlets across the city and internet. CONCLUSION / In conclusion, UnderLAy works to assist in the re-thinking of our assumptions of externalized space given by way of an overlay of infrastructure, cinema and public event. By physically intervening on the space, it creates a new mode of interaction, an instant feedback loop. The tower now becomes another background element in films to come, and the tower then expands to document these. UnderLAy capitalizes on the city’s known representational

medium to provoke human infiltration of the normally overlooked Los Angeles river canal, as well as help re-frame it’s filmed historical perspectives. While Los Angeles may never be fully described through its Hollywood films, the integration of a broader social cinema will indeed promote a perspectival realignment of interaction within the seemingly well-known, yet unknown “externality” of the Los Angeles River.

STUDIO OVERVIEW / As the primary building block of cities and the basic integer of urbanism, housing makes up around three-quarters of the building stock in cities the world over. Nonetheless, it typically plays a background role to the foreground buildings that punctuate the urban fabric – the more sculptural and sometimes spectacular, audacious public and institutional architecture. Unlike these more monumental buildings, housing may be an inspired design but it’s not about inspiration or spectacle per se ; it is quietly, modestly there to provide its occupants comfort, indepen-

dence and private sanctuary from the rigors and stimulation present in the rest of their lives. However, its shared and semi-public spaces can be exceptional, and its understated morphology and details can be rich. Live / work housing– whether an office, studio, workshop, retail shop or café – may need to interface with public or private clientele. All urban housing - whether public, market-rate, non-profit, cooperative, institutional, communal, multi-family or single family – needs to front and connect to the public realm, as well as provide privacy. Housing provides a deep insight and

index of a society and its community values. Compact, affordable, multi-family housing offering urban walkability, bikeability, vitality, proximity and anonymity may be the next American Dream, replacing the private, suburban McMansion. The residential sector consumes a great deal of energy and other resources; accordingly, sustainability and resilience are critical issues, including their environmental, economic, social and aesthetic dimensions. Both offensive and defensive, active and passive energy systems are needed to improve performance and comfort. *As prefaced by Studio Professor Doug Kelbaugh

POSITION / Located on the Library Lot in downtown Ann Arbor (one of three proposed Ann Arbor studio sites) between South Fifth and Division, our project utilizes a connection between the existing Liberty Plaza at the corner of Division and Liberty and the proposed plaza at Williams and South Fifth. This connection is accentuated by way of an elevated green-way, running diagonally from Northeast to Southwest, splitting the lower mass of the structure. The second level entry from the north is made possible due to a gently sloping green-scape moving up from ground level. The green-ways southern end terminates at a projecting balcony, overtop of the plaza. Opening out, on to the elevated walk are both live / work units as well as a number of social spaces, including a music venue, destination restaurant, gym and music school. Moving vertically through this lower mass (consisting of four levels), more privatized roof decks and community garden spaces emerge. From here, the tower elevates another fourteen stories to include a skip-corridor assembly of one, two, three bedroom and penthouse market rate units.

The 15-Minute Architecture studio will devote the term to an interrogation of the pop-up phenomenon.

We will intentionally incite the messy collision of branding, marketing, advertising, popular culture and space-making with the aim of strategically crafting a new kind of 15-minute architecture. The studio will operate like a branding and advertising firm where each student is a brand strategist. For the first half of the term, each student will have to create a new brand identity for an existing product. In the second half, each student will craft a product launch for their “clients” re-invented brand in the form of a pop-up architecture.*As prefaced by

STUDIO OVERVIEW / Today architecture has a built in expiration date. It is disposable, meant to be consumed now and instantly obsolete - not unlike milk or a Happy Meal. Architecture is no longer meant to endure 25, 50 or 100 years as an anachronism that tells a story of “permanence”. Rather, today’s architecture is a short-lived one of event and spectacle that follows the fickle pulse of commerce. ‘Here today, gone tomorrow...’

STUDIO OVERVIEW / Positioned as a three part studio, the initial two design inquiries were a bike rack design for the Queen City Art Racks Competition and a single-family residential project in Northside, Ohio. The final project continues the residential trajectory with a multiunit residential project. The site is positioned on a steeply graded lot east of Devou Park in Covington, Kentucky between Western and Crescent Ave. POSITION / While the demands of market rate housing call for a particular degree of luxury, there

remains no opposition to ingenuity and re-use. This particular realization of contemporary condominium living centers on the re-application of shipping containers for compact, efficient habitation. These containers, used in stacked groupings of one to three-bedroom units throughout the site, constitute the bulk of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structural framework. While the overall development plan continues to preference the automobile, a close proximity to the Mainstrasse area of Covington suggests other, more sustainable patterns of mobility.

Weese Columbus, IN

PAMPHLET INTRODUCTION / Harry Mohr Weese was born on June 30th, 1915 in Evanston, Illinois. He completed undergraduate work at both MIT and Yale University between 1933 and 1936, ultimately receiving his architectural degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1936. During his

time at MIT, Weese studied under the famed Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto. Following graduation, Weese was awarded a fellowship to Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit, Michigan where he studied city planning alongside both Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. In 1939, Weese joined the Chicago firm Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill. After just two years however, he joined the military as an engineering officer, returning to the firm in 1946. A year later, in 1947 he opened his own firm, Harry Weese Associates. Throughout his career, Weese amassed an incredible portfolio of

preservation and will certainly be remembered as the architect who “shaped Chicago’s skyline and the way the city thought about everything from the lakefront to its treasure-trove of historical buildings.” Weese died on October 29th, 1998 in Manteno, Illinois.

OVERVIEW / Following no particular chronology or theme of production, the following pages include a small portion of the other work created both within and apart from academia. This output includes first, the culmination of creative work and documentation produced after a six-week summer studio to China in 2007. The installation, dubbed, “China’s New Experience” detailed our photography, small urban intervention projects in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen and our participation with the firm Urbanus for their “Building Asia Brick by Brick” competition submis-

sion. The second spread includes a portion of compensated, as well as recreational graphic design / screen printing projects. The highlighted Saarinen piece was commissioned by the Columbus Indiana Visitors Center for sale in the gift shop. The third spread contains an illustration previewing as part of the Final Friday event from May 25th to June 30th 2012 at MOTR in Cincinnati, as well as selected photographic works. Further graphic, photographic and filmic samples can be viewed at spudthemud.com.
