MONTAGE SETTING THE STAGE IN TORONTO, ON ADVISORS Suzanne Charles

THESIS STATEMENT Montage is a transformational mixed-use development at the junction of Toronto’s Downtown and East End neighborhoods. The project is an environmentally sustainable cultural hub that integrates cinema, creative industries, and Toronto’s park system to provide a unique outlet for expression and lifestyle. Montage embraces the future of urban transportation by providing both public transit and a thoughtful street grid that accommodates private vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. It enhances the urban fabric with distinctive plazas, tree-lined streets, and industrial facades, reminiscent of the late 19th century. Akin to a montage clipping together scenes of a film, this development augments the surrounding communities and creative thinkers of Toronto. Montage welcomes all ages, creeds, and ethnicities, and it is a place for collaboration, communication, and innovation. Montage will be developed through a joint venture with ToDon Properties. ToDon will contribute Parcel A and the partnership will acquire Parcels B, C and D through a separate land holding entity. The development entity will acquire the land in three separate closings under one land acquisition agreement, with options for Phase II and III land executed immediately pr ceding their respective groundbreakings

21st CENTURY CATHEDRAL COMMERCE, CULTURE, CATHOLICISM ADVISORS Henry Richardson John Zissovici

THESIS STATEMENT In the present day United States, the church is going out of business. This thesis questions the Church’s position of selling its air-rights, proposing instead to consolidate its space above St. Patrick’s Cathedral to create a vertical cathedral. Through investigat-ing the church and skyscraper typologies questions of lighting, spirituality, and iconography begin to be explored. The thesis creates a hybrid pilgrimage religious and corporate site within the Mid-town East rezoning district position. The architecture aims to challenge the formal, economic, and spiri-tual qualities of the Catholic Church, commenting on the Church’s spiritual and corporate dynam-ics in regards to its relationship to New York City.

ARMETURE OF CATASTROPHE BRIDGE OF FANGUITO

ADVISORS Tao Dufour Lior Galili

THESIS STATEMENT Sea level rise due to climate change and natural disasters threaten all along the coast, displacing coastal inhabitation. The island of Cuba has fought against the sea since its colonization, walling its coast to block the erosion and encroachment of water. The water does not care about the wall, it finds its way through during storm surges and hurricanes flooding all in its path. The barrio Fanguito sits in a flood plain on the bank of the Almendares River. The site was quarried during the area’s industrial past, leaving a wall of earth behind that physically separates the low elevation of Fanguito from the rest of Havana. Fanguito periodically floods as the river rises displacing the community. As sea levels continue to rise, Fanguito’s community is poised to be left underwater. In response to this impending displacement, the proposal raises the community on a new armature above the future flood. A bridge network is created connecting Fanguito with its adjacent neighborhoods and housing displaced inhabitants along its path. A new infrastructure replaces Fanguito’s failing system providing a framework for domesticity and future expansion. The project foresees the future catastrophe of rising sea levels and envisions an architecture that does not fight against the water but rather accepts its inevitability and rises above it.

RE-CYCLING SPACE RETHINKING THE PARKING GARAGE

ADVISORS Dr. Daniel Lopez-Perez Whitney Moon

THESIS STATEMENT As the demand for dense urban living increases the demand for personal automobile ownership declines, thus rendering the multi-story urban parking garage obsolete. The parking garage’s fate is one of demolition or transformation. This thesis aims to find new uses for existing parking structures within urban centers through adaptive reuse. The programmatic transformation is informed by urban analysis of the surrounding neighborhood and typological analysis of the existing structure. This project investigates a parkade in Downtown San Diego as a site for intervention. The transformed structure aims to act as a catalyst to revitalize an underutilized section of San Diego’s Civic Core. The adaptation of the parking garage serves as an ecological initiative to use sustainable and eco-friendly practices by avoiding complete demolition and rebuild on the existing site.

ROBOTICS BUILDING CONSTRUCTION LAB 3D CONCRETE PRINTING GRADUATE RESEARCH

ADVISORS Sasa Zivkovic Leslie Lok

RESEARCH: R_BC LAB investigates prototypical methods for 3d printing at the building component scale in groundup layered assemblies. The research aims to develop architectural strategies for use in current industrial scale 3d printing processes - the assumption being that the technology will eventually evolve to include multi-material printing, non-layered printing, or printing on site among others. However, rather than further focusing on the technical development of 3d printing technology, this project operates consciously within the status-quo, researching a paradigm-shift that has already occurred but never fully and consequentially been explored architecturally: the 3d printing of buildings with concrete.

RED HOOK LIBRARY URBAN REFUGE CORNELL AAP NYC ADVISOR Marc Tsurmaki

THESIS STATEMENT In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, coastal cities have began to rethink their relationship with water. Red Hook, Brooklyn was severly ooded during Sandy in 2012 along with much of Manhattan. During the ood tall buildings and areas above the raising water levels became safe havens for those trapped by the storm. As sea levels rise and hurricane activity increases due to climate change, architecture must accomodate the changing landscape. The design for the new Red Hook Public Library examines the roll of the library as refuge for the public. The library becomes the connecting feature of the region, being a place for people to gather and learn as well as seek safety in times of disaster.

Located on a ood plain, the Red Hook Library must serve multiple functions. An intellectual space for students and those in the area looking for book and computer resources. A gathering space for the neighborhood bringing together the population in the Red Hook Houses and the new young residents. A refuge for displaced residents, homeless, and those seeking shelter during rising currents. The space includes large public seating on the exterior, an interstitial space as a repreive from natural elements, and an interior space for books, electrionics, and more individual study spaces.

AARAU BUS TERMINAL STRUCTURAL MODEL

PARTNER Jamie Mitchell ADVISOR Mark Cruvellier

BRIEF: The Aarau Bus Terminal canopy is the world’s largest air-supported membrane cushion acting as the main entrance for the central public transport hub. Structurally comprised of steel columns connected to steel beams that support the overall form of the canopy and tensions members supporting an inflated cushion membrane. The contrast between the semitransparent surface and the open air intensifies the impression of lightness and the feeling of being out in the open, yet essentially protected from the elements. The built structure now stands as a landmark for Aarau, Switzerland; representing a unique mixture of functional, advanced technology and a play on sensory perception through the use of light and structure. The intent of this project was to investigate structual systems while also honing various methods of model making. By using various materials, true to structure and performace, this model allowed for various discoveries as well as insightful techniques in order to create a compeling and accurate physical model.
