A R C is H I T E C T U R E the result

of a critical decision making process whereby the Architect sculpts the human experience of space-time. To that end, the architect must expend his faculties in discerning that which informs and alters a person’s perception of his surroundings through an understanding of the natural, cognitive, and social sciences. Once having been thoroughly convinced of the cause and effects of various such elements, he conducts the necessary investigations in shaping the environment through the interventions of landscaping, structure, MEP, finished material, furnishing, lighting etc., and finally weaves them into a coherent, and cohesive reality. In doing so, he is ever mindful that his chief end is not merely spatial geometries, but the sensorial experiences which develop from interactions with these formal characteristics. Hence, Architecture is not merely an object in space. It is furthermore, far beyond the sum of its parts. Rather, Architecture is a spatial-temporal construct which is made complete by the individuals who progress through space and time and participate in the Architect’s creation.

Based on the need to display a locomotive, the design process began with an investigation of long span structures inlcuding thin-shell structures such as the hyperbolic paraboloid roof of the Institute.

renovation and addition follows after its relocation from Raleigh, NC to Urbana, IL. Designs must follow the stipulations of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation - locating a new site that closely follows the original topography ; preserving the historic character of the property; creating a differentiated yet compatible new addition that when removed does not impair the integrity of the historic property. In addition to the ken module used by Mr. Matsumoto, other aspects of traditional Japanese home and garden were explored in the design of the addition in an effort to extend the spirit of the original artefact

NORMAL PUBLIC LIBRARY


THE NORMAL PUBLIC LIBRARY is a conceptual design project which attempts to balance the rational components of the modern library program, with the qualities of space and of place which touch the human soul. The Library is not only a repository of books, but it is also meant to serve as a haven for the community, especially to children and to the youth. The Library is so planned around an atrium core with the Children’s library nested at the base. Patrons promenade through a series of plateaus about the atrium, allowing them to appreciate the different qualities of space as they process throught the library.

1. Allow Circle to “breathe” 2. Accomodate vehicular traffic 3. Allocate bicycle storage

4. Designate children’s area 5. Establish atrium

NORTH CITY FRONT PLAZA


NOR T H CI T Y F R ON T P L A Z A is a new hotel and condominium tower situated in the Streeterville neighbourhood of Chicago, IL. The primary elements being explored in this skyscraper are skygardens - community floors dividing the residential tower into neighbourhoods, a doubleskin curtain wall system which facilitates the yearlong usage of these green spaces, and the canopy - an extension of the curtain wall which gives the effect of simultaneously being drapped over the building, and gathering up the ground on which the tower stands. The motto "Urbs in Horto in Turris" (City in a Garden in a Tower) builds on the slogan for the city of Chicago. It captures the idea that a tall building acts as a vertical city, and it also recognizes and seeks to carry on the legacy of the park movement which began in the early 1850s and create neighbourhood parks in the tower itself to create opportunities for recreation, promote social interactions, and build a greater sense of community.
