The Midway Richard F. Hansen Prize 1st Place Partner: Alice Tosi Project Site: Ames, Iowa Media Used: Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, acetone transfer, watercolor, colored pencils,
The premise of our project was to create an institute of
choreography next to the ISU College of Design. For our interpretation of choreography, we imagined a class that would take place at ISU, fomenting collaboration between design and theater students. When taking a look at developing this institute of choreography, we decided to interweave our architecture with the surrounding environment. The building is weaving through the landscape, and stitches begin to extend, creating seating and a unified outdoor amphitheater where nomadic pageant wagons continue to weave in and around the side from the production to performance stage. This building houses a studio and learning spaces. Bringing all these elements together creates a choreography which weaves through and around our architecture, thus creating our choros.

Vertical Suburbia Partner: Jacob Gockel Project Site: San Francisco, California Media Used: Rhino, Illustrator, photoshop, AutoCAD, Vray Vertical Suburbia is located in San Francisco, California on Washington St., adjacent to Betty Ong Rec Center. This modular design aims to provide green spaces and to preserve views within a dense city from the comfort of each module, thus introducing a vertical suburbia within an urban setting. The green spaces are composed of courtyards, which serve as a method of water conservation to reduce flash flooding, as well as a space for program. These courtyard spaces are enhanced with customizable high tech holograms. This introduces the mingling of the digital world with nature and the juxtaposition of a suburban setting within an urban environment. The modules are composed of one, two, and three bedrooms to allow residents from diverse backgrounds to have a space that meets their needs.

Educational Greenbelt Partner: Cassandra Frazier Project Site: Des Moines, Iowa Media Used: Revit, Illustrator, Photoshop, Due to the continent scale food supply chain, chronic stresses from food insecurity undermine community well-being and are becoming more visible. Lower income households are most likely to be susceptible to these stresses and least likely to be able to cope. Our mission is to promote health through educational resources, specifically in lower income communities within an urban environment, who may not have previous exposure to the importance of local agriculture and sustainable practices. Our master plan consists of four distinct districts, each chosen with strategic revitalization in lower income communities. Using the information from the master plan our ideal site is located in Downtown Des Moines as an addition to Central Campus. The site happens to be in the melting pot of three city forces: Central Campus, Downtown, and Waterworks. This site is an ideal location to design a farm to table cafeteria as a way to make a statement to celebrate nutrition by pulling the cafeteria out of the building and the center of the community. The farm to table cafeteria consists of a public cafÊ on the first floor and an educational cafeteria on the second floor with outdoor seating, which also serves as a multipurpose space for other events and food nutrition classes to take place. There is a tunnel which cuts through the center of the building and allows a farmer’s market to flow through while creating a welcoming space for the community to be aware of the resource. Ultimately, our goal is to bring this diverse community and its land together through the education of the youngest generations on the unrealized potential of local food production to combat food insecurity. 20

Namu House Project Site: Obidos Portugal Media Used: Revit, AutoCAD, Enscape, Photoshop Namu House is located in Ă“bidos, Portugal; it was designed by [i]da arquitectos. Namu house creates a strong relationship with the landscape and carefully addresses the location of private and public spaces. I chose to do recreate this existing project in Revit. I was able to generate documentation of Namu House from the Revit model such as renderings, construction documents, and more. We then created a website with an overview of the project.

Prisma Project Site: Ames, Iowa Second Year Architecture Studio Collaboration PRISMA is a design build which was introduced as part of the 2018 Movement and Kinetic Structures exhibition at Reiman Gardens. PRISMA is an interactive structure which becomes a part of the natural world and integrates the community and surrounding environment. It provides moments of beauty through the means of hammocks and iridescent panels in between a cable system. This interactive sculpture was achieved by the Architecture 202 students.
