Cornucopia Center is an incubator that facilitates the mission of the Eastern Market district. Providing healthy ways to promote well-being and incorporating comfortable spaces to grow.

The design has taught lessons of designing around a sloped earth condition while staying sustainable. The various work spaces and integration of timber wood created a comfortable environment. Entrances are key to inviting indivduals, there are two in this case, while one was greater designed than the other.

Group - Elena Moamar & Megan Kavanaugh & Andrew Gainariu

Nestled within the vibrant streets of Detroit, on the campus of the University of Detroit Mercy, emerges Flow On The Ave—a beacon of innovation and community empowerment in the heart of Fitzgerald.

Rooted in the ethos of inclusivity, sustainability, and social progress, this architectural endeavor seeks to redefine urban spaces as catalysts for positive change. With programs including a welcoming coffee shop to dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and a dynamic community classroom hub, Flow On The Ave embodies a commitment to fostering connection, creativity, and collective well-being within the University District and beyond.

NON-PROFIT HOMELESS SHELTER

ALLEGRA

PITERA FALL 2022, THIRD

Group - Elena Moamar & Rees Cameron

A non-profit shelter organization allowing young individuals of the ages 18-25 to experience new opportunities. The symbolism of Oak is protection, which the name Okuhomu (Oak Home) intends for the individuals. An engagement of the auditory and visual senses through the exterior and interior (waterfalls, fountain, textile oak wood), creating an encounter that is going to be remembered.

Providing a successful welcoming urban landscape compliments the building design. With the initial experience working with mass-wood designing identified the correct ways to position the elements when reacting to climate.

JOSHUA BUDIONGAN SECOND HALF OF SUMMER 2023, THIRD YEAR

A zine, derived from the word magazine is a gathering of one idea and elaborated through artistic, linguistic, architectural, and many more skills. This zine is about the topic of wine in Volterra, how it interacts with both the visitors and architectural surroundings.

Identifying hidden architectural spaces to sketch/draw taught many lessons of how a space can have such small beautiful details in design that wont typically be seen unless”looked” for. Having a prompt for finishing a sketchbook of 20 pages with architectural spaces, pathways, environments allowed both the furthur exploration of Volterra and the study of architecture history itself.

Carved from a mineral rock found locally in Tuscany. Stairs that lead to a glowing door where a candle/ light rests.

ALABASTER MODEL

KRIS NELSON FIRST HALF OF SUMMER 2023, THIRD YEAR

The first half of the semester consisted of designing around the senses. This project illustrates a tunnel located in Volterra which allows the individual to experience three levels, each being a different sense.

The three levels create different experiences yet should be connecting together with design. The intent is to allow the individual to experience and enjoy the few moments of time through the tunnel, but there are many ‘expereinces’ to encounter.

ENRIQUE LEDESMA WINTER 2022, SECOND YEAR

Location - Capitol Park, Detroit, Michigan

The Realm Art Museum provides visitors with an experience through the human senses. A diverse realm discovered on each of the six floors allows vistors to find curiousity in their experience and adventure through. Enabling learning experiences as well as communicating with others at the local coffee shop open to all on the first floor. Drawing pieces of Capitol Park, four colours are taken as a reflection of the historical site.

Allowing for a slight connection to the surrounding Capitol Park site, the connection and exterior should be embraced rather than closed off for only the interior to experience.

REALM I 22

The human senses; vision and touch are embraced through each exhibition space. The vibrant colors are distributed throughout each space, with materials of touch enhances the users experience.
