BENJAMIN E THOMAS GRADUATE WORK
Architecture is a pleasantly complex practice in which attention paid to the smallest details can result in the largest impacts. Details, however, must not be relegated simply to fastening hardware and material selections of the built environment. Progressive architectural intervention succeeds best when it is appreciative of the details of the built, contextual, and personal environments of human behavior. It is in this appreciation that I position my own work in order to afford the opportunity for best practices on physical and non-physical scales; to retain theoretical ingenuity within the scope of plausible reality. Through my work experience I became actively engaged with the realities of scope, budget, bidding process, scheduling, board reviews, and team leadership. The critical thinking skills acquired through this exposure, when applied to design, posit the fact that all aspects of the design process are opportunities for successful work. Academically, this success is cataloged through the multiple projects archived as teaching tools, a publication in the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee architecture student magazine, Studio 2131, exhibited work at the University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez as well as the University of Michigan, and an awarded installation at NOLA DesCours through the AIA, New Orleans chapter. The work within is evidence of how progressive thinking coupled with realistic grounding allows the conversation of architectural intervention to be had at multiple scales. Moreover, it highlights the agency of architecture outside of the built environment as it aids in the narration of the everyday, aiding the individual’s ability to move, interact, play in-, and contribute to the environments in which we exist.

Option studio: fAITH, mclain clutter. fALL 2010 The goal of this studio was to develop a conceptual project concerning the evolution of the Megachurch in the exurban landscape. Various trips to such institutions as well as comparative studies with other building types such as large “big box� retail were the point of departure. Of primary effort in this studio was understanding the programmatic incorporation and distribution within the church as an example of interior urbanism. This work projects the incorporation of mass transit into the programmatic concerns of the church. Vehicular access into the interior begins to create a completed whole of the institution as a metropolis. Moreover, ideas of network distribution and iconographic imagery speak to the attitude of building as billboard, associating the programmed interior with a single exterior expression.

In conjunction with the University of Michigan’s Latino Studies department and El Museo del Norte public committee of Southwest Detroit, the project was to design a mobile museum to help tell the history of Latinos in the area. Each student was to develop a unique proposal that was showcased to the public for consideration. The proposal below called for the development of flexible nodes that could be easily transported and reconfigured to accommodate a variety of sites, audiences, and programmatic intents.

El MUSEO DEL NORTE
COMPREHENSIVE studio, mICHAEL kENNEDY. FALL 2011 To promote the efforts of the Southwest Detroit community, the studio was geared towards the development of a permanent museum to house performances and exhibits centered around the Latino culture in the area and the larger context of the city. One proposal per student. This project makes use of an existing ironworks building from the 19th century as a contrasting agent to a proposed addition. Through their dialogue, the new and old relate to the historical sensitivity of the surrounding Latino community. Incorporated into the project is the knowledge that the visitor is at once patron and exhibit, living history. Therefore, the project is designed to fully expose the community to itself through active display and interactive activities such as the offering of the exterior to local artists and the bleeding of performance space from building to exterior neighborhood.

PROPOSAL ONE: OPEN SITE
ZONE 1A: ABOVE GROUND

Staying in the same vein as the mobile component, El Museo del Norte should be an active player within the community it serves. As a museum of history, it should locate itself near a historical anchor, which it references through its curated exhibits and physical proximity. Access to areas of public engagement such as recreational centers, parks, and/or schools allows the museum to lend itself as an extension of focused program. Within the site and its context there should be ample room for the museum to: 1) expand physical footprint, 2) occupy multiple areas to increase range of visibility and deploy/store portions of the mobile unit per its intent, 3) interact with the community at both large and small scales. Southwest Detroit is part of Detroit’s ‘Empowerment Zone’ initiative; therefore, the museum should site itself within a particular area of revitalization as a gesture to the community’s progressive nature and historical sensitivity. Moreover, it would be ideal to have a site housing a pre-existing building that the new museum can interact with, furthering this gesture.

Site Summary
-The museum will house utility at core to open exterior to programmatic perimeter.
Located on Porter Road between St. Anne’s Street and Stanton Park, the site houses a 3-storey, masonry building measuring 40’ x 80’ and a slightly larger lot on the building’s East side. It is the location of 19th century T.X Rosseau Iron Workers Manufacturing Co. The building is surrounded by single-family residences, except for a slightly larger lot to the North. Other open lots available nearby to relieve the need to house all necessities on one site such as parking or large events. Open lots also offer potential for mobile unit deployment, engaging publics that may not pass directly by site. St. Anne’s is visible to the South; Detroit skyline visible to the East. Historically, the neighborhood has always been ZONE 1: BORROWED FRONTAGE small residential with commercial sites scattered throughout.

NSS HEADQUARTERS
Option studio, jENNIFER hARMON. WINTER 2011 The studio was charged with the task of designing a headquarters for the National Speleological Society. After collective research aimed at defining the needs of the society was published, each student was to propose a building design. This project employs the play between interior and exterior, above and below ground, to create moments of tension and intrigue that work to heighten the experience of the whole. The three publics of the building (caver, administrator, public) are purposefully given moments of overlap to extend their programs to one another, creating hybrid environments for education and interaction. The architecture actively presents key features of program to each other, increasing the legibility of space and the components that define the NSS as a society. The transfer of information from caving society to touring public will increase, further solidifying the NSS as a serious, conservation-minded institution whose efforts are on multiple fronts: research, training, education

EXPANDING INWARD
THESIS STUDIO, ANCA TRANDAFIRESCU. WINTER 2012 Prompted by the proposal for compaction initiated by the city of Chicago, Illinois, this thesis investigates the latent potential of physically constrained sites. Engaging the exposed interstate rail platforms of the Blue Line, the project’s curiosity comes from the negotiations between the 15 foot width of the platform, the commuter culture of the rail, and the programmatic aspirations of the project. Using the YMCA Headquarters as the pressurizing agent, careful physical considerations are coupled with programmatic overlays that not only accommodate the constraints of the site, but offers a plausible dynamic of integration. Methods include exploration through isometric drawing, vignette, and conceptual section to draw out the plausibility of action through exactness of execution.
