Sintering Critic: Andrew Saunders 5 Person Team Project Year: 2016 Manitoga; Garrison, NY SINTERING HIGHLIGHTS THE GEOMETRIES AND ARCHITECTURAL LININGS THAT EMERGE FROM MARRYING TWO DISTINCT PIECES OF CERAMIC INDUSTRIAL DESIGN DININGWARE FROM INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER RUSSEL WRIGHT, TO CREATE A PAVILION ON THE SITE OF WRIGHT’S HOME IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. UNPACKING THE GEOMETRY OF THESE PIECES, SINTERING REPRESENTS THE PART-TO-WHOLE RELATIONSHIP THAT EMERGES FROM AGGREGATING FORMS THAT OVERLAP TO FORM A NEWFOUND PART-TO-WHOLE RELATIONSHIP. THIS ADDRESSES THE HOLLOWNESS AND SHELL FABRICATION OF WRIGHT’S ORIGINAL WORKS. EACH FRACTAL MODULE IS INTEGRAL TO THE WHOLE, OFFERING A
DEFINITION THAT CREATES A NEW KIND OF CERAMIC MOLDING AND PRECISION. IT DEVELOPS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CONDITIONS THROUGH VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL, AND DIAGONAL CONNECTIONS THAT PROVIDE RESILIENCE OF FIGURE. THIS PIECE STANDS AS A TESTIMONY TO WRIGHT’S CRAFT AND GEOMETRICAL APPROACHES: A NESTED AND DECONTEXTUALIZED DESIGN THAT IMPRINT TEXTURE AND STRUCTURAL RESILIANCE TO TRANSCEND PART TO WHOLE, CREATING A SENSE OF FAMILIARITY.

Interlace Critic: Annette Fierro Year: 2017 Parkside, Philadelphia, PA
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FICTIONS. INTERLACE IS A LIBRARY INTERVENTION WITHIN THE PARKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SUPPORTS AND STRENGTHENS A COMMUNITY NARRATIVE RATHER THAN IMPOSING A NEW AGENDA. IT TAKES THE STRENGTH OF THE PORCH NETWORK WITHIN THE PARKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD AND APPROACHES THE DESIGN OF A COMMUNITY LIBRARY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUPPORTING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK TO BUILD A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP THROUGH CREATION AND PERFORMANCE. THIS LIBRARY ADAPTS PORCH LIFE THROUGH THINKING ABOUT THE PORCH AS BOTH A SHELTER AND A READING ROOM. IT IS A SERIES OF LAYERED SPACES THAT MOVE THROUGH A NON-CIRCULATING AND CIRCULATING LIBRARY TO CREATE TEMPORARY HABITABLE LIMINAL SPACE. THE PORCH IS A SOCIAL CONDENSER THAT BLURS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, SERVING AS THE LIMINAL GATHERING SPACE THAT DEFINES THE VIABILITY OF THE STREET EDGE. WHILE THE PORCH OR THE STREET EDGE OFTEN INVOLVES A SEASONAL INTERACTION, THE LIBRARY EXTENDS PAST THAT TO HONOR THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PORCH FOR THE PARKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATE COMMUNAL SPACE AND READING ROOMS AS PORCHES THAT MAKE THESE INTERACTIONS FREQUENT AND ANNUAL. READING ROOMS BECOME TEMPORARY SHELTERS, AND COMMUNITY SPACE AND ACCESS TO AGENCIES ESTABLISH A STRENGTHENED IDENTITY. IT ADDRESS HOW INTENSELY LIBRARY SPACES ARE USED, AND ENHANCES THE PLACE THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

Choreographed Convergence Critic: Andrew Saunders Year: 2016 Manitoga; Garrison, NY CHOREOGRAPHED CONVERGENCE IS A STAGED CONVERSATION ABOUT LAYERS OF INTENSE REVEAL. IT IS A NEGOTIATED DANCE BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER RUSSEL WRIGHT’S MANITOGA PROPERTY AND NEW GEOMETRIES DERIVED FROM WRIGHT’S AMERICAN MODERN CERAMIC DINING COLLECTION. IT QUESTIONS HOW FRAMED VIEWS REVEAL SITE AND BODY THROUGH CURATING GALLERY SPACES AND MOVEMENT BETWEEN CAPTIVE OBJECTS. THIS NEW GALLERY FOR MANITOGA, SITTING OPPOSITE THE DWELLING ACROSS THE ON-SITE QUARRY, POSES QUESTIONS OF PERCEPTION AND SPATIAL INTERACTION TO ADDRESS THE ROLES OF ACTOR AND AUDIENCE IN THE SPACE: SHIFTING BETWEEN THE VISITOR AND THE COLLECTION. FOUR MAIN GALLERY SPACES ARE BORN OF FLEXIBLY COMBINING GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS FROM WRIGHT’S WORK TO CREATE SPACES OF DEEP INTERIORITY ANCHORING SURROUNDING SPACES OF INTENSE OPENNESS THAT FLOAT ACROSS THE EXTREME TOPOGRAPHY. CHOREOGRAPHED CONVERGENCE IS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN STAGING EXPERIENCES AND CREATING MOVEMENT THAT BUILDS UP TO PERSONAL MOMENTS OF REVELATION.

Limb from Limb Critic: Simon Kim Partner Project Year: 2017 “LIMB FROM LIMB” SPEAKS TO THE SELF-AWARENESS AND CONTROL A CHARACTER REQUIRES TO AVOID DESTRUCTION AT THE HANDS OF A HUMAN, AND TO THE MECHANISMS OF CHANCE THAT ALLOW THIS CHARACTER TO THRIVE THROUGH SELF-DESTRUCTION. IT’S REFUSAL TO FUNCTION IN THE PRESENCE OF A HUMAN IS MEANT TO IRRITATE THE HUMAN’S DESIRE TO INTERFERE AND MANIPULATE.
THE NAME IS BORN FROM A PHRASE OF THE SAME WORDING WHICH INDICATES THAT PARTS OR MEMBERS FROM A BODY ARE TORN APART TO CAUSE DISMEMBERMENT AND DESTRUCTION. IN THIS CASE, PARTS ARE TORN OUT OF THE WHOLE, YET IN THE CHARACTER’S EYES, IT IS NOT WHOLE UNTIL IT HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IN AN ACT OF REVERSE CREATION, THE WHITE VEIL OF UNIFORMITY IS TORN TO REVEAL INTRICATE MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND A MECHANICAL SKELETON.
THE PIECE IS A COMMENTARY ON THE DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY ANTHROPOCENTRIC PHILOSOPHIES. THIS OBJECT, MADE BY HUMANS, DESIRES DESTRUCTION, BUT NOT AT THE HANDS OF ITS CREATOR.

Pastiche Critic: Annette Fierro 4 Person Team Project Year: 2017 Parkside, Philadelphia, PA PASTICHE TAKES OWNERSHIP OF NEIGHBORHOODS AS FICTIONS TO RE-ESTABLISH A STRONG NARRATIVE FOR THE PARKSIDE COMMUNITY, DEVELOPING A SPACE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO STRENGTHEN AS A WHOLE, WHILE ALSO CREATING MUCH-NEEDED TRANSIT ACCESS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS OF PHILADELPHIA. THE PARKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD OFFERS A VIBRANT OPPORTUNITY FOR RESTORING AND EXPANDING COMMUNITY FOCUS THROUGH CONTEXTUAL AND CULTURAL FORCES. BY THREADING TOGETHER THE NARRATIVES FROM THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION TO THE PRESENT DAY, THIS PROPOSAL INCORPORATES VICTORIAN TYPOLOGIES WITH THE VERNACULAR, GROWING NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE THROUGH THE ARTS. ROOF LINES OF NEIGHBORHOOD ROW HOMES MEET THE MODERN GEOMETRIES OF WEST PHILADELPHIA MURAL ARTWORK IN A STRUCTURE THAT OFFERS A NEW SEPTA RAIL STOP, A COMMUNITY MARKET, AND A NEIGHBORHOOD HUB, TO FOSTER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND A NEWFOUND CONNECTION TO SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. PASTICHE SPEAKS TO THE VIBRANT DAY-TO-DAY INTERACTIONS OF THE PARKSIDE COMMUNITY. IT RESTORES A SENSE OF COMMUNITY PRIDE WHILE CREATING REFLECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW GROWTH.

Street art in the city has been steadily growing as a means of rejuvanating neighborhoods and providing opportunities for community involvment and activity. By abstracting recent wall art within the Parkside community and using it to inform the facade condition of Pastiche, community focus is re-established within its historical context. 34

Front + Center Critic: Brian Phillips Year: 2017 Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA FRONT + CENTER PROPOSES A BUILDING AS CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE SPACE, WHERE MUNDANE, EVERYDAY ELEMENTS BECOME FANTASTICAL AS THEY REDEFINE LIVING, MAKING, AND SHARING SPACES. THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF FISHTOWN IN PHILADELPHIA THRIVES ON THE DYNAMIC ENERGY BROUGHT BY AN INFLUX OF MILLENNIALS PURSUING CREATIVE ENDEAVORS ; THESE USERS OFTEN SEEK SHORT-TERM RENTABLE MAKER SPACE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO WHERE THEY LIVE. FRONT + CENTER ADDRESSES THIS BY OFFERING RESIDENTIAL UNITS COMBINED WITH RENTABLE ART AND MAKER SPACES THAT CAPITALIZE ON THE ELEVATED TRAIN AND PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AS A VISUAL AUDIENCE. AN INITIAL ANALYSIS OF BARS, MIRRORS AND BENCHES (ACCOUTREMENTS OF
MANY NEIGHBORHOOD PURVEYORS) RESULTED IN THE CREATIONS OF A TUBULAR INFRASTRUCTURE OF PROGRAMMATIC, VISUAL AND SYSTEMS NETWORKS. THROUGH THIS INFRASTRUCTURE NEW RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AUDIENCE AND ACTOR DEVELOP, DRIVEN BY THE MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BAR (BARRE) AND MIRROR AS CONDUITS FOR FUNCTIONALITY AND ACTIVITY. FANTASY IS A NECESSARY INGREDIENT FOR LIVING.

Fishtown, Philadelphia Programmatic Make/Share Needs Evaluation Front + Center aims to address the lack of rentable artisan spaces within Fishtown that spatially appeal to individuals and groups within the community, as well as pop-up renters. It offers a place to inspire new modes of creation through commonplace elements that become specific through use. Through Making, Sharing, and Living, residential and work spaces remain connected through shared formal experiences, through the barre and mirror weaving through the building and serving as conduits for actors and audiences..

Nested Reveals Critic: Kutan Ayata Partner Project Year: 2017 Callowhill, Philadelphia, PA NESTED REVEALS ADDRESSES THE PREMISE OF CREATING SPACES FOR CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE AND VERTICAL ACTIVITY THROUGH THE PROGRAM OF A ROCK CLIMBING FACILITY IN PHILADELPHIA. ENGAGING PHILADELPHIA’S SOON-TO-OPEN RAIL PARK, THIS PROJECT TAKES ON THE ACTIVE PROGRAM OF A ROCK CLIMBING GYM AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLANT A NEW WORLD OF CONCENTRATED VERTICAL PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE HORIZONTALITY OF A REVIVED AGENT FOR CIVIC INTERACTION WITHIN THE CITY. IT BRINGS INTO QUESTION THE MATERIALITY AND MOVEMENT THAT ACCUMULATES TO PRODUCE NEW PLAUSIBLE AND INTENTIONAL REALITIES, ARTICULATED THROUGH AN ARCHITECTURE OF INTENSE REVEAL AT THE HUMAN SCALE. THE ULTIMATE UNPREDICTABLITY OF HUMAN MOVEMENT IS EMBRACED AND GIVEN AGENCY THROUGH AN ARTICULATION OF MATERIALITY THAT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY THROUGH RECONFIGURATION AND THE WEATHERING OF THE BUILDING’S TANGIBILITY. THIS PROPOSED REALITY IS ONE OF TRANSITION AND CONSTANT PERFORMANCE, NEITHER STATIC NOR PREDICTABLE IN ITS INTENDED USE, NOR THE WAY IT COULD BE EMBRACED.

Material Testing & Development: The concentration of the follow material development was the result of the desire to explore engineered and handcrafted methods of design for performative consumption. Textures and configurations for assemblies were the result of rigorous testing of removal and additive processes. An exploration and molding and imprinting led to an unpredictability of form and process that would imfuluence formal developments. F 7.1 a: Plywood Panels Inlaid into Concrete
