TYPE: MEDIATHÈQUÉ • LOCATION: CHICAGO, IL COURSE: ARCH 374 • PROFESSOR: CLAIRE GASPIN
SLA-ibrary
In the Near West Side of Chicago, there is a large amount of linguistic diversity—both in the number of people who speak languages other than English at home and in the number of languages spoken. In an increasingly digital age, how might we leverage this linguistic diversity and encourage residents of the near west side to use and gain language skills in order to better connect with each other? This urban mediathèqué, focused on language learning, takes cues from second language acquisition research to best foster connection among residents of the Near West Side.

The image on the adjoining page is a spectrogram of the phrase, “Portafolio de arquitectura, Kaylee Tucker”. I ran a sound file of this phrase through PRAAT, a linguistics software that analyzes speech for phonetic and phonemic research. I also transcribed the phrase into IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet, (right). As a Spanish linguistics minor, I have analyzed both my own speech and native speakers’ speech through PRAAT and IPA transcriptions. Under the IPA transcription is a graphical analysis of the vowel formants in the same phrase. These values are plotted to find which vowel is spoken.

As a Research Assistant for Sara Fernández Cuenca, a PhD candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Illinois, I collected and analyzed data (below) for her study on Second Language Acquisition. After learning about SLA theory, I collected new data. Then, I analyzed older data. After grading oral and written tests, I analyzed the results to find out whether second language learners and heritage learners learned from explicit and implicit instruction and what kind of knowledge they retained.

TYPE: LIVING & WORKING APARTMENT BUILDING • LOCATION: GRÀCIA, SPAIN COURSE: ARCH 476 • PROFESSORS: ALEJANDRO LAPUNZINA, NÚRIA SABATÉ GINER
Our proposed living and working building speaks to two different urban languages present near our site. A complex, interlocking section evokes the language of Gràcia’s streets, while clear, regularized functions are reminiscent of the Eixample. Each unit in the residence has at least two windows, with one always leading to the main street, Milà i Fontanals. To give the feeling of more space, side units are double height. These double height spaces create interesting circulations— each unit has its entrance on the long part of the unit, and either accends or decends through the double height to arrive at additional space. All public living areas are keyed to the double height area, while all private living areas are keyed to the single height areas. Middle studio apartment residents travel vertically to reach their working areas, while side units’ working areas are adajcent to their residences. Additional services include bike parking, communal working core and a storefront working area for the ground space, working floor unit. living circulation

Grafting
TYPE: PUBLIC USE INTERPRETIVE CENTER • LOCATION: UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ARBORETUM COURSE: ARCH 373 • PROFESSOR: DAVID EMMONS
Situated adjacent to the cross-country path’s starting line and between the Hartley Garden and the lake, the interpretive center physically bridges the gap between the two. The building’s footprint is based on the natural axes provided by the site. These axes are determined by both formal and informal parts of the garden. Grafting the two resulting shapes yields the general footprint of the building. The central, curved hallway serves to guide visitors through the building from the parking lot to the lake. Clerestory windows bring light into the hallway and draw attention to the southern view. To the north of the building, there is an outdoor deck facing the cross-country starting line. This space, along with additional space gained by setting the building back from the cross country start is a prime area for spectators to cheer on friends and family running 5k’s and other races at the Arboretum.

Prairie Fires
Currently, this long and narrow site in Champaign is a Pocket Prairie, an urban green space. This design for an indie bookstore incorporates the prairie as both a precedent and an inspiration. Prairies are excellent at revitalization; wildfires burn off the plants above ground while keeping the roots intact, allowing for prairie species to flourish. The division of spaces of the urban bookstore reflects this process. The level at grade with Chestnut Street and the level at grade with Market Street represent the roots of prairie plants, functioning as more permanent spaces. In contrast, the second floor symbolizes the leaves and stems of prairie plants. These portions of plants are burned off in prairie fires and are ephemeral, so the space is more flexible and is perfect for collaboration. The circulation changes from linear to curved and polygonal furniture allows for more people to work closely on projects. The triangular and pentagonal tables are modular and can be combined to serve any function.

TYPE: FARMERS’ MARKET • LOCATION: CHAMPAIGN, IL COURSE: ARCH 272 • PROFESSOR: ANDREA DE BERRY, DAVID EMMONS
This intervention encloses the ChampaignUrbana Farmers’ Market indoors as well as expands the program to function as a flexible, gathering space for the community. Inspired by plants, the core product of the market, the organic form of this building takes the shape of roots while the structural system is modeled after stems, leaves, and their arrangement. Circular translucent glass panels are distributed above a clear glass roof in order to give the appearance of a canopy or the underside of a blooming flower. The reflections of these panels and their structural systems create shadows that mimic a forest for the building’s users. The exterior of the building is wood and glass panels that follow parastichy numbers, the number of spirals on a flower. Inside the market, curved walls allow patrons to meander through the building to reach the various stalls while a flexible space for community is slightly separated.

COMPETITION: 24H- FIRE • TYPE: FIRE WATCH TOWER TEAM: CLAUDIA MIRALDI
LIGHT TWIST
While fire is extravagant & lively, water is grounded & calm. With global temperatures rising & climates becoming drier, previously manageable fires are becoming bigger risks to both people and property. Although technology has improved since the first fire watch towers were constructed centuries ago, by the time satellites detect fires today, the fires are too large to manage. Cellphones would be good tools for reporting fires, but reception is often unreliable in forests. We have reimagined the lookout tower to better serve the future. Lighthouses were originally differentiated during the daytime through patterns on their façades called daymarks. The twisting design of the fire watch towers allows for infinite unique daymarks (right). The use of daymarks will facilitate communication when the towers are replicated in the forest & will help hikers identify the watch towers as way-stations.

In order to decrease response times, the watch tower features an alarm system, radio & cellular antennae, & optical sensors, called “FireWatch”. This German system detects smoke particles & will assist the watch team in spotting fires. External stairs are an homage to historic fire towers
Ribbon windows are a dynamic feature that combine the energy of fire with the flow of water.
The hexagonal shape contributes a grounding force, similar to that of ice, whose chemical structure the form is based on, while the twisting lifts the building and gives it life just as fire does.

2018: The Information Age
2080: Overload
A myriad of knowledge is accessible from our pockets and guides our daily lives. However, analog technologies still exist and those who can operate them are still alive. We use the Internet and its data to answer small questions and big questions alike. From “Where should we eat?” and “How do we get there?” to “Is the Universe expanding?” and “How can we combat global warming?”, data is a part of our existence.
“An [information] economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.” The Internet has shaped data collection, study, analysis, and application for a century. A hundred years’ worth of documents, photos, social media posts, scientific data, and emergent technology has accumulated. How can the important data be parsed and secured in the event of a catastrophic event when analog technologies are unable to handle the load?
