Judengang

Design Studio Spring 2012 Charles MacBride

Design a structure that will hold the archives for John Hejduk. The building is to be placed within the opening at the northeasterly Judengang entrance in Berlin, Germany. This site is very powerful both culturally and physically in the fabric of the city.

The spiritual and historical significance of the site, combined with Heduk’s own work and personal connection to Berlin as a place, will play an important role in the design.

Digital Modeling Tutorial Workshop Spring 2013

Sara Lum

Each individual was to take six photo of a space/structure. The images were then to be collaged together to create a composition from those images. The collage was then analyzed separately into three different diagrams, orthogonal, tension, and architectonic. The three diagrams were then overlaid onto one another. From this overlay students used Rhino 3D modeling to extrude, boolean, and etc. to create a 3D model from their diagrams. The models were then pushed farther by using more advanced commands such as twist and array. The final model was then placed into a realistic environment.

Lightweight and Tensile Structures

Building Shop Spring 2013 Charles Macbride

This course focused mainly on two architects, Frei Otto and Buckminster Fuller. Otto was known for his tensile structures like the West German Pavilion at the ‘67 Expo in Montréal and the ‘72 Munich Olympic Arena. Fuller was known for his lightweight geodesic domes and his tensegrity structures.

Hotel MontrĂŠal Design Studio Fall 2013

Sara Lum MontrĂŠal Canada has an empty lot on the intersection of Rue McGill and Rue Le Moyne. A hotel made of 50-150 rooms is to be built. From analyzing a modern-day hotel room students are to focus on a certain area to improve and push throughout the project. This project focuses on boundaries.

Bedrooms in the hotel are at a set layout. Beds and walls are on tracks and guests are able to controll how they want their room laid out. If a floor is rented out there is and opportunity for an open event space.

Moveable panels on the building facade enable guests to be able to have a fully open room or a completely private space.

Rex South Dakota State University Box 2203, SIM 108 Brookings, SD 57007 Dear DoArch, This letter is to inform you of my interest in the Masters of Architecture program at South Dakota State University.

Before joining the SDSU DoArch program I had little to no experience that my two strengths were art/design and math. Those two strengths with architecture. The past four years at SDSU has really helped my understanding of buildings. It was a challenge having no experience to figure out the concepts of it my design and ideas took off.

Our graduating class has been at the front of continue to help shape the final two years. I medias/programs to help strengthen my design. we illustrate or represent our ideas. I look enjoyable learning experience and a privilege

with architecture. All I knew was were put together and it connected me knowledge for design and with architecture, but once I started

this program for the past four years and I hope that I can have gained a passion for improving my skills and using new It is enjoyable to be able to figure out ways to improve how forward to joining the future of DoArch. It has been an to be a part of SDSU DoArch.

Thank you very much for this opportunity to apply for the DoArch Masters program.

Respectfully, Shaun Davis
