“Architecture is an orchestrated journey in which the architect conveys through its composition, materiality, until its very detials. While going through this journey, ones unveil the story one is trying to tell. That being said, architeture is simply the other form of story-telling. The story has been built between the client and the architect, the site and the built elements, the intention and the details, the old and the new; going back to the very basic sense: between the mass and the void. With an unbalanced relationship, good story will not ever be established. Architecture, therefore, is a statement. It is trying to convey the utmost of all - I want to create architecture that moves people.�

Door of Sants
Location - Sants neighbourhood, Barcelona, Spain Instructor - Amadeu Santacana, Tomeu Ramiz IASAP-BV Fall Semester Program | ETSAV Can Vies is one of the important aspect of Sants Neighbourhood that has been brought up to the surface due to the social and political issues that exploded in 2014. It is only appropriate to not only rebuild Can Vies, but also rethink the purpose of Can Vies itself as a place that holds the significance in the Sants Neighbourhood. Providing a place where both the locals and the visitors can occupy while learning more about the story of Sants through Can Vies. Preserving parts of Can Vies’ old wall become the most important thing throughout the project in order to create a dialogue between the old and the new. To emphasize the significance of the site in its proximity to the “concrete box” -a concrete covering the exisiting train tracks, which underlines the initial problem in Can Vies, a new courtyard has been placed. Not only will it bring light into the tight spaces the site have, but the courtyard becomes the symbolism of what the site was and what it will be. Therefore, the circulation of the project has been placed around the courtyard as well as the old wall of Can Vies.

Due to the series of events , it was inevitable that Can Vies ended up half destroyed leaving a scar not only physically but also emotionally for the neighbourhood. The decision to choose Can Vies as the specific site for Sants Neighbourhood also comes from the consideration that this site exists in between two L5 stops -Mercat Nou and Placa de Sants; within one to two minute walking distance, this site is easily reached by people who come to visit Sants. The change of elevation that exposes the concrete box -visually dividing the two side of the neigbourhood also starts from this site. 5

Light Movement
Location - Girona, Spain Instructor - Alejandro Lapunzina, Jeffrey Charles Kansler, Raul Martinez Design Partner - Nevis Isai, Lian Ren, Wen Wang A three-weeks intensive workshop The main ideas at the core of this pavilion are lightness and movement. Both combined give birth to a structural system made of two parts. The first part is a fixed glulam frame with colored fiberglass roof panels at its central bay. The second is a collection of 28 moving shelves on wheels. Attached to these panels and resting on the beams are again colored fiberglass panels which slide in the channels on the glulam beams over and below the fixed fiberglass of the central bay. The shelves are designed to hold the stools for the people to sit at anytime or during performance. The reason for having movable stools is the preservation of the site in its original state. As the shelves move and the different colored roof panels lay over each other, the color of the space changes. It is a constantly changing atmosphere which is defined solely by the movement of the users. The space transforms like a closed dynamic system. The side bays, which were originally covered in grass, are covered with white polished concrete which works as a reflector of the filtered light. The stage is placed below the tower in the existing part of the church and the audience sits in the nave, reminiscent of mass in a church and therefore evoking a feeling of place.

The Beacon
Edward C. Earl Prize Third Place Location - Chicago, IL Instructor - Altaf Engineer, LEED AP BD+C Having to design a library in the city, the project takes the whole footprint of the site creating a complete box that goes along with the grid system of Chicago city block. Shifting the axis of the interior after playing along with the grid system on the exterior creates a change in how one moves from the outside to the inside. To further emphasize the difference in axes, the facade structural system has been detached from the building structural system. Furthermore, the facade uses a double-skinned translucent panels to allow the illumination of the whole library at night time while showing the silhoutte of the activities happening inside the library. With the circulation placed between the space and the facade, the shifting axes allow only certain parts of the circulation to touch the facade. This allow opportunity of the facade to become transparant and to let the people inside see through the library into the city.

Cherry Blossom Pavilion Location - Arboretum, Urbana, IL Instructor - Jeffrey Charles Kansler
Located in the heart of Arboretum, this pavilion was first designed for the Cherry Blossoms festival that happens every Spring. Reflecing the idea of gathering that the festival preserves, the pavilion can also be used for other occasions. Due to its family-friendly intention, it is allowing one to spend time with their family around this pavilion. Another design intention for this particular pavilion lies on the idea of journey to the peak of beauty. This was derived from the process encountered by the enclosed flower bud to the blooming Cherry Blossoms. The process continues to the withering process of the flower as it disappears quickly as the season of Cherry Blossoms pass by. The quick disappearance, however, is not always bad since it welcomes the next beautiful thing to appear in one’s life.

JD Bistro
Summer Internship at W Office Location - Jogyajakarta, Indonesia Director - Joe Willendra Project Architect - Ria Novita “A design concept that embodies the spirit and culinary art of JD Bistro. An architecture that will act as a container for interior design, lifestyle, and culinary. The buildling is designed with transparancy by breaking the masses, shearing or stacking thus allowing maximal natural light/air, efficient layout and visibility from the street. Each level has separate courtyard and terrace to allow continuity between the exterior and interior of the building.”
