CONTENTS An inherent conversation exists between music and architecture; each, in its existence, occupies physical space. Music is dynamic, rippling from a source, filling void space. Architecture is static, declaring definition for the dynamic. This conversation remains unconsidered, however, without the presence and interpretation of the individual. It is the individual for which each will ultimately be conceived.

RIFT MUSEUM STUDIO V - David Dimond | Doug Bergert A diorama imitates a fixed moment in time, obscuring the terminal reality of our natural environment as it moves toward a self-inflicted chaos. Rift Museum is the antithetical monument to Bell Museum’s idealized depictions of the Minnesota landscape. Organized with three interwoven programs - Portrayal, Provocation, and Performance - Rift Museum seeks to empower the public through a combination of pedagogical and emotional stimuli.
Underground parking is provided to clear the site of vehicles above ground and establish a visual cross-connection between the pathway and the vehicle entrance. The smell of gasoline and exhaust become the first sensory evidence of the antithetical experience.
Exterior to interior iteration.
The structure is characterized by chaos. Tilted I-beams collapse, interposed between and supported by concrete retaining walls.
Structural elements both define and are defined by the space. Avoiding centralized program, the beams begin to define circulation paths.
The weight of the mass above the visitor is an immediate contrast to the previous experiences.
The curvelinear interior surface serves to simultaneously hide the structure, as well as stretch and warp to create a sense of path. It opens to allow light and closes to create space. Here it has opened for an event space, while still signifying directionality through the space.
The walls surround the visitor, and allow projections to take new forms.
URBAN PATH Copenhagen, Denmark - Heitor Garcia De Gamles By is a district within Copenhagen where the young are interlaced with the elderly, the pedogagical with residential, and the peaceful with the chaotic. Urban Path is a dynamic avenue that connects FĂŚlledparken with Hans Tavsens Park, navigating between catylitic zones, intersecting the diversities of the site. The site is subdivided into the Rigid Zone and the Spontaneous Zone, each each categorized with its particular zoning strategy. The Central Catalyst is established at the midpoint of the path, providing a point of attraction for the public. Over time, the Secondary and Tertiary Catalysts are supplementally established, spreading the public activity throughout the core of the site.
Path as an opportunity for community, connecting the elderly and youth
Catalysts serve to draw in the public from the major parkways
Hi, quonsules is, que pul cremusseris essimulem in se vis. Ilicapero, silin sum. Satum di, quem vivenat antella vividii te te acestem oracta, ut vil uter patque consuppl. Ipsenteris; nonfeci entilii peritum diis bonsulto ut pra et postra? Cus; nos, quod dum, nos avo, quo ingulto redem, caetis. Oculut virmiur. Ficeperit, Cupica; eo me fin rediena, De Gambles By intermediates two major park systems in Copenhagen
This unique opportunity to connect two major parkways in the heart of Copenhagen demands a reexamination of what community means to different age groups. A balancing of the educational, residential, retail, and communal provides a freedom of choice, while centralized catalysts create an intentionally imprecise distribution of age-specific program.

Central Catalyst
The Central Catalyst is open to the three main entrances of the site, pulling visitors from each side. The “stages� are sloped in such a way that they are easily accessible, yet provide a division between street and performance space.
Relationship between surfaces and division of space allows for separate but connected community
TURBULENCE STUDIO III - Matthew Byers The History of wooden boat building is framed on the visceral process of composing natural material to perform unnaturally the interaction of a wooden boat hull against water generates turbulence. This wooden boat building passage takes the visitor, physically and intellectually, through a passage of time. The steamed-wood-on-space-frame walkway emerges from nature and flows into the river, while the concrete bloacks create moments of formal and programmatic turbulence. The wooden walkway begins at the natural and ends at the completion of the boat, while providing historical context throughout the space. A visual connection is introduced as the visitior reaches the workshop, and each block is oriented toward the boat launch.

WATERWORKS STUDIO II - Nina Ebbighausen The Mill City Ruins sit at the heart of Minneapolis, MN. The history of the site permeates the natural landscape along the river with fragments of buildings that once stood during the birth of the city. Waterworks is a constructed shell that emerges from the ground and establishes its own, new landscape. The historical wall left on site is framed in celebration, while the building creates its own city within. In this way, history, the city, and the natural landscape are woven together to create a brand new experience.
