DUNWOODY ARCHITECTURE The Architecture Programs at Dunwoody College of Technology combine to form a five year professional Bachelor of Architecture degree focused on strengthening the profession’s capacity to realize its potential for positive global change.
AAS ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE The first two years offer an associate of applied science degree with a focus on employability through the establishment of professionalism and technical competency.
Y1 PROFESSIONALISM The first year focuses on establishing professionalism through an introduction to design + building technologies, practice in critical representation, and achievement in professional behavior.
Y2 TECHNICAL COMPETENCY The second year focuses on technical competency thgouh an introduction to project management, practice in architectural collaboration, and achievement in construction documentation.
BARCH BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE The final three years offer a professional bachelor of architecture degree with a focus on leadership in the art, discipline, and practice of architecture through achievement in design fundamentals, architectural research, and comprehensive design.
Y3 DESIGN Year three provides and introduction to design thinking, architectural design, and practice in varying site and historical contexts, and achievement in architectural design.
Y4 RESEARCH Year four focuses on architectural research through multidisciplinary design processes while working in more comprehensive contexts including global, cultural, theoretical, political and economic.
Y5 COMPREHENSION The final year is intended to synthesize previous knowledge through the development of comprehensive architectural works. Concurrently, legal, ethical, and business aspect of professional practice are introduced.
Y3 FROGTOWN FARM The intent of the project is to provide an asset for the Frogtown community by supporting the farm’s mission to grow food locally and provide a place for community members to share art and culture, cook, gather, and learn from one another. Located west of Downtown St. Paul the Frogtown neighborhood in the last one hundred and sixty years has been home to waves of immigrant groups. After the removal of Dakota and Ojibwe came groups of African Americans, Europeans, and Jews; and later immigrants from Southeast Asia, various African countries, and Mexico. These people groups have each brought vibrant cultural heritage to Frogtown and at the same time have faced effects of economic disinvestment, food insecurity, displacement, and serious economic and health disparities. Through the iteration process the building responded to preserving the existing trees especially the oaks and large cottonwood. This condensed the buildable area into a linear pathway from the urban landscape just across Minnehaha Ave into the open plaza green space of Frogtown Farm. The buildings serve as a welcome from the street and ushers patrons into the experience of the farm itself.

The intent of the project is to provide an asset for the Frogtown community by supporting the farm’s mission to grow food locally and provide a place for community members to share art and culture, cook, gather, and learn from one another.
This desire for an urban farm began as a grassroots movement as community members saw an opportunity to u this vacant lot as a natural green space and a place to grow food. Locally grown food has been a common topic intersects many of the narratives tied the history and hopes of the community.

Located west of Downtown St. Paul the Frogtown neighborhood in the last one hundred and sixty years has been home to waves of immigrant groups. After the removal of Dakota and Ojibwe came groups of African Americans Europeans, and Jews; and later immigrants from Southeast Asia, various African countries, and Mexico. These people groups have each brought vibrant cultural heritage to Frogtown and at the same time have faced effects economic disinvestment, food insecurity, displacement, and serious economic and health disparities. Frogtown Farm is at the heart of this. It pulls together a place that is connected to the history, but also celebrate something new: a new place of gathering, new connectedness, and new solutions addressing concerns of the community.

THE FARM PROGRAM WAS GIVEN THE HIGH GROUND TO AID VISIBILITY TO THE FARMERS WHILE THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS WRAPPED AROUND CENTRAL HUB ANCHORING THE COURTYARD AS THE PRIMARY COMMUNAL NODE. THE RADIALLY ORGANIZED BUILDINGS INCREASE THE SENSE OF PLACE FOUND IN THE COURTYARD AND PROVIDES A NEW TYPE OF GATHERING SPACE BY DEFINING ITS BOUNDARIES. THE CENTRAL HUB IS ALSO THE PRIMARY SENSE OF ENTRY TO THE FARM AND BY PLACING THE BUILDING ON THE ECOTONE OF THE OAK SAVANNAH AND THE ELEVATION CHANGE IT SERVES AS A GATE AND SENSE OF ENTRY. AS A HEDGE IS ALSO PROVIDED THROUGH EXTENSION OF THE GABION RETAINING WALL WHICH BLOCKS OUT THE UNDESIRED VIEW OF THE NEIGHBORING GAS STATION AS WELL AS LIGHT POLLUTION AND NOISE. THE DESIRE FOR A HEDGE WILL PROTECT THE UNIQUE URBAN OASIS THAT FROGTOWN FARM PROVIDES WHILE ALSO HOLDING BACK THE EARTH. THE BUILDING IS EXPRESSED AS SIMPLE SHED ROOF TO MAXIMIZE VIEWS OF THE FARM AS WELL AS ACTING AS HOOD TO SCOOP LIGHT AND A WATERSHED TO CATPURE RAINWATER. THE LIGHT TECTONIC OF THE SHED IS BALANCE BY THE MASSIVE GAVION WALL WHICH ANCHORS THE BUILDING TO THE SITE.

Y3 DESIGN THINKING This course focuses on influence and emulation of natural and manufactured systems on architectural structure and form. Students will develop a broad understanding of varying natural environmental, formal, structural, and material systems. Each exercise employs HUMAN, Kangaro, and Diva for Grasshopper to illustrate architectural orderings systems including Axis, Symmetry, Hierarchy, Rhythm, Datum, Transformation, Repetition Material Proportion, Structural Proportion, Manufactured Proportion Field Condition, Additive Form, Subtractive Form This is followed with the creation of a graphic strategy for representing the output of all seven of the Grasshopper exercises. Critical representation strategies include color, lineweight, text, perspective, scale, figures, vegetation.

The ridges, highlighted in white, provide a natural nest for building to sit in. They are also a display of the history of the site relating to the geological formation of the land and the paths that were left by the glaciers wake. On the outheast side of the building, the ridges give a niche that fits the root cellar, without necessitating any removal of the ridge.
