01 LINK | WISSAHICKON GATEWAY PROPOSAL
David Kratzer | Studio 7 | 2017
In order to reorganize and create a better utilized transportation center, rather than a single bustop round-a-bout, this will also become a public center. Much of the focus of this is also on how to connect two seperated bus and train stations, with the solution bridging the two together. While the transportation station is the primary design of the project, ceonceptually the idea is focused on the idea of hydration and how it flows throughout the site. In order to prevent damages to the location through its 100-year flood zone, it is important for it to be able to prevent this through the transference of hydrology from the site to the river. This transportation center would not only be beneficial to the ecological health of the site, but also the economical through commercial centers.

02 ASCENT | ARCHITECTURAL STEEL COMPETITION
Jeffrey Kansler | Studio 6 | 2017
Ascent focuses on a continuous upward journey, wheter it relate to the architectural features or its program. Ascent was designed with the idea of being primarily an Environmental and Sustainability based Work-Live environment, housing non-profits and sustainable designers. The intent of this program was to create a structure atop of a platform, which could be used as an exterior multi-purpose center. Housing marketplaces, flea markets, and other recreational activities. The formwhich is an extension of the ramp used to walk into the entranceway.

URBAN SHIFT | ART THERAPY CENTER
Li Hao| Studio 5 | 2016
Urban Shift is located near Logan Circle in Philadelphia with the intent of being a special needs, children’s art therapy center in the daytime, and a secondary program at night. The concept behind this program was to utilize intersecting geometries to create private and public spaces. The intersecting units are recessed in order to convey the importance and idea of privacy. In this way, diagonal circulation is used to transverse these geometries and creates outdoor public spaces of interaction which are created by these shifts in spaces.

04 REMEMBERANCE | ALZHEIMER’S RESOURCE CENTER
Jeffrey Kansler | Studio 6 | 2017
This collaborative project focuses on the creation of a wellness center for Alzheimers treatment. The facility was designed to be a physically and mentally stimulating environment in which the targeted patients would have access to roam around or participate in activities in safety and comfort. The facility was designed to match the surrounding site context and maintain the urban wall, while using architectural techniques such as clearstories for access to natural light and a roof garden pathway.

05 SYNTHESIS | UNIT DWELLING CHARETTE
Matthew Gindlesparger | Studio 8 | 2018
In this short charette, a study of a chosen material system took place. The material chosen for this project were Fiber Reinforced Composites. After the study of materiality, a dwelling was created based upon the material’s properties and the climate chosen.

Utilization of fabric reinforced composites/polymers to create a lightweight modular system that interconnects to form a habitable residence, with integration of utility systems built into individual panels. By these particular functions responding to studied relationships of climate and client, this modular system can be fabricated and installed on site quickly for convenience and maneuverability.

06 ENTWINED DURABILITY | STRUCTURAL STUDY
Kihong Ku | Experimental Structures | 2017
Our project combines two major topics in the world of experimental strucutres; weaving and modularity. Throughout the design process, our team worked to maintain a balance between the two, emphasizing each one in different phases while expliring concept and form-finding as well as the use of digital design tools and physical fabrication methods. Programs such as Grasshopper, Kangaroo, and Karamba helped us to experiment with and analyze a variety of forms while we found that there was no bettwe way to determine the strengths of the material than the physical handling aspect. We tested different performances within our design. Nonetheless, during the final fabrication process our design began to focus on the individual pieces as well as the whole. Using thin strips of wood at various lengths and widths, we were able to attain the desired curvature depending primarily on the strength and flexibility of the material with minimal support at the overlap of each strip. The system utilizes three repeating elements to create a curvilinear surgace as well as the simple screw and nut to hold it in place, so the initial construction process was extremely difficult with one module being pregabricated in under an hour. The assembly was mucch more labor intensive, along with the bending of the pieces to shap to align themselves proved quite difficult.
