[NEW] CONTEMPORARY ART INSTITUTE SOCIALIZING THE TYPICAL WHITE BOX TYPOLOGY World Trade Center Site, New York City, NY Partner | Sunnie Lau Professor | Joshua Prince-Ramus Some Contemporary Art can be controversial and stirs dialogue. We are interested in this type of art which deals with real life issues of gender, politics, drugs, sex, war, and religion. These real life issues raise debate due to their often controversial critique of society. The typical ‘white box’ museum typology providing a blank slate for art and can allow for some debate and discussion. Often times they are thought of as sacred and are hermetically isolated from the real world. With that said this project questions status quo notions of the typical decorum prone and debate free gallery typology. The intent of this project is to reinterpret the white box through a series of communication games that play with sound, negotiation and technology.

GAMES OF COMMUNICATION USED IN DOME GALLERY

MUTE

DOME GALLERY

The dome gallery plays with notions of sound and acoustics. From gallery to gallery the acoustics begin to play a game with the user. Some rooms amplify so that one users voice is carried loudly and other users can hear what the first user said. Some rooms mute in order to cause discomfort and a change in acoustic sensation.

GOD ROOM

CONE GALLERY

The cone gallery utilizes a double height space and the game of “god room” to allow users to extend their voices into other galleries. This allows for multiple perspectives on different pieces of art and a new way to communicate through the buildings section. Lecterns are built in to the floor to stimulate debate of art.

PARTY CHAMBER + CLOUD GALLERY

At the top of the tower is the main event space for concerts, live performance, plays and interactive installations. This room allows for panoramic views of the city and gives the Contemporary Art Institute an dynamic space for mixed use and functions. It doubles as a gallery with no divisions or partitions, giving the artist full freedom.

[ICEHOUSE] I N D U S T R I A L U R B A N I S M PERFORATING PERFORMANCE + COMMUNITY Re imagining the Industrial in South Boston Professor | Cristina Parre単o Alonso

A design incubator is born from the past to service the future creative class and industry. A dynamic new skin system starts from the center void and folds out of the tower creating an exterior wrapper over the building. This performative skin takes on roles of enclosure, thermal modifier and overall shading system. It is perforated at the three levels. One being the large interior courtyard that brings light deep into the building. It then folds on itself creating patios for work and leisure. It lastly perforates at the scale of the occupant, allowing for a myriad of small operable windows for comfort. The building houses a lecture/film space below grade, galleries on main levels and the remainder floors offer space for light fabrication, engineering/ architecture offices and a large materials library for research. Every floor is unique due to the way the skin moves and shapes spaces throughout the buildings. This new juxtaposition to the past and tech present creates a new identity and life to the relic.

symbiotic AGRI-T O U R I S M HIGHLAND RECLAMATION via CROPS + TOURISM Galapagos Islands, Ecuador Professor | Andrew Scott

This project is located in the Santa Cruz Highlands of the Galapagos, on the agriculture lands that have taken over the center portion of the island. One of the most prevalent issues that the islands face is resources, i.e. food, water and energy. The goal of the project is to make agriculture here much more productive and find away to bring back the natural biodiversity that once thrived in the highlands.

Agri-Tourism will become the means by which the Santa Cruz can survive and become less dependent on imported goods. Replanting of the native Scalesia forest in this area will also bring back the native ecosystems as well as promote a better unity between people and nature.

GARDEN protective / productive / place

The year is 2023 and outdoor air quality has been compromised by nuclear radiation. This makes normative life for humans difficult. A solution to take back the outside spaces is realized with the Garden Capsule. This system can be retrofitted to existing DANCHI (apartment buildings). It will provide not only protection to from outside extremes but give buildings new vivacity and character.

The capsule gives the occupant a new escape from the entrapment that the world and Japan now faces. This system has a skin that features hydroponic plantings so that living can be sustained thru urban farming. Life and health is restored.

CANTILEVER desk

FURNITURE DESIGN + FABRICATION

The Cantilever desk was designed to give the illusion of a actual cantilever. The heavy maple top appears to be floating over the light steel legs. Walnut spacers were used in between the maple to create dialogue while contrasting wood species .the spacers are randomized in pattern and give a feeling of lightness to the desk.

MATERIALS MAPLE. WALNUT WOOD + TUBE STEEL CONSTRUCTION
