01 CHILDREN’S MUSEUM LOUISVILLE, KY LCM IDEAS COMPETITION 2ND PLACE OVERALL TEAM: KYLE ZOOK, YU KONO, MYSELF UNDERGRADUATE: 3RD YEAR
The Louisville Children’s Center intertwines children with urban and natural environments. The built form becomes a tool intended to engage the child with his or her surroundings while developing a sense of place within Louisville. The form of the center is derived from the generation of pedestrian axis, which produces three distinct programmatic masses that facilitate a central communal space. The exhibit mass situates itself on the south side of the site, creating a dialogue with the library as it is similar in its nature of learning. The play and ancillary mass positions itself on the northeast corner where it compliments the dynamism of the adjacent exterior. These programmatic elements are then lifted to create a visual transparency across the site, encouraging pedestrian movement throughout the urban fabric. A perforated skin formally unifies the three masses while maintaining the visual connection between the interior and exterior.

02 HOUSING FRANKLINTON, OH COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO STUDIO HONOR BOOK AWARD CRITICS: ROB LIVESEY AND BART OVERLY TEAM: ALI SANDHU, JAMES AMICONE, MYSELF GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
Franklinton Housing aimed at providing maximum diversity of housing typologies from predesign phases of precedent research. The challenge of the project was the length of the site and its unusual thinness. Our solution was to subdivide the site into 8 equal blocks, with Broad street as its center. Each 175’ x 105’ block then uses the same 17.5’ grid to bring consistency across the blocks. These dimensions were established due to their flexibility to perform in various housing and building typologies from townhomes to tower. Public buffer zones occupy the space between blocks and are activated by the programming on the street level across the site. The symmetry across Broad Street sets up pair relationships according to the blocks proximity to Broad. Each pair utilizes a formal operation (wrap, extrude, shear, screen) to relate to its counterpart. The result is eight unique blocks and four unique pairs.

03 SURFACE STUDIES W/ JAMES AMICONE CRITIC: BETH BLOSTEIN GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
This study is based on two assumptions: the black box theatre is windowless; the window is a visual threshold between two spaces. Our interest began in the digital modeling of intersecting surfaces introduced through the power and naiveté of the computer. From that, we became interested in how to physically make that space of an impossible architecture where two surfaces defy the Pauli Exclusion Principle. In doing this, we hope to achieve the ambiguity of interior/exterior relationships as seen in the film, “Rear Window”. When two surfaces cross eachother, two exterior sides intersect to create a new type of interior space. This is the resultant space that we hoped to form. We named this the “Blip window”. It does not exist with a material presence, but rather becomes a volumetric container in which two spaces simultaneously exist and interact.

04 SCHOLAR’S INSTITUTE CINCINNATI, OH SITE/RESIDENTIAL STUDIO CRITIC: BOB BURNHAM UNDERGRADUATE: 3RD YEAR
A predetermined mixed-use program had to accomodate both fellow scholars and multi-family residential on a site acting as a hinge near the University of Cincinnati. Sociopolitical conditions are used as a tool for form-making as a scholars institute and market housing are integrated adjacent to eachother on the same site. I was interested in the multifaceted contextual relationships that could be established by the demographic range of users on the site. The fellows are placed in a tower that overlooks the greater context, while market housing is inserted into the drastic contour of the site, establishing its permanent nature and residential belonging. A pedestrian path operates in the margins, bringing people through the margins of political and volumetric instantiations.

05 SPACE STUDIES PERFORMALISM SEMINAR CRITIC: STEPHEN TURK GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
This study investigates similar ideas of space shared between the early paintings of Zaha Hadid and the megastructures of the Halo Forerunner species. Warped ground plans, romantic scenography, surface treatments, and anti-gravity conditions are topics of interest.

06 FITNESS CENTER CHICAGO, IL STUDIO RECOGNITION HONOR CRITIC: JERRY LARSON UNDERGRADUATE: 4TH YEAR
The fitness center is a critique on a building’s ability to occupy and engage the ground of a site. Infill towers generally use all of the footprint of a site, resulting in hard streetfront conditions that politcize interiors and exteriors. The fitness center hugs the boundary of the Chicago Tribune site with interior voids that create sportyards for public use. The relationship from the lifted volume to the exterior is filtered and erased through the gilled facade, while the relationship to the courtyards is emphasized through glazing. The hotel on top of the center acts as a formal backdrop the activities happening below. The pedestrain bridge crosses the river, connecting to the continuous river-walk to the south. The final form is a low-lying organism creating new datums and negotiations with the surrounding towers.

07 PRISON SAN FRANCISCO, CA RECOGNIZED AT DAAPWORKS 2015 CRITIC: MING TANG UNDERGRADUATE: 4TH YEAR CAPSTONE
This ACSA Steel Competition submission looks to crossprogramming and the disguise of function to manuever topics of gentrification and urban integration. In reponse to brutalist prisons of the 20th century, steel and glazing is used to generate revised spacial and psychological conditions in a prison. The cell is pushed to the edge along reflective glazing that allows one to escape from an impoverished local context. Panopticon happens at the center with cores for the guards. A public podium houses community functions, while three towers are pushed to the interior of the site. Two towers house prisoners. The other tower houses the UC school of criminology. Shared program is housed in a long span truss that connects the inmates and the students under guard surpervision for relational and educational benefit.

08 MOUNTAIN STUDIES w. First Office ANNAPURNA 3 DAY WORKSHOP CRITICS: ANDREW ATWOOD, ANNA NEIMARK (GUEST: JEFF KIPNIS) TEAM: KYLE ZOOK, ALI SANDHU, JESSICA SPRANKLE, MYSELF GRADUATE: 1ST YEAR
This regimented workshop investigated the unforseen formalities in mountain geometry and how to deduce formal information by juxtaposing a cube into the mountain. Isometric drawing and graphic representation were used to magnify the interplay between the two dimensional and three dimensional. From there, a single piece of paper could use one operation (fold) to re-create the essence of the mountain geometry.
