DENTAL OFFICE With a grandiose rhythm of pale lights, the internal space of Bedford expands the visual landscape without the need for an expansion of the floor area. Lights were carefully selected from a manufacturer to allow seamless integration with the design ceiling landscape. Concealment of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and audio-visual controls played a role in reducing excessive visual cues and thus attending to the main objective of the space: the treatment and comfort of patients. The concept circulated the radical notion of an open dental office that is separated by low partitions, built-in furniture and intensities of light. Where physical separation was necessary, low-iron glass was used to create ultimate transparency. The office became a field, rather than a room with a direct visual connection to the large window, overlooking the cityscape center as soon as entry is afforded. In turn, the peripheral enamel of the space at large, served as a buffer that also accommodated the administrative and related functions.

SCI-ARC

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE For nearly 50 years, SCI-Arc’s collaborative, immersive environment for students, theorists, and practitioners has empowered the next generation of architects. The professional graduate programs at SCI-Arc attract an internationally diverse student body to speculate and resolve imminent issues facing architecture today. SCI-Arc ranks in the top 10 across all of the survey’s focus areas, including design theory, construction methods, materials, and sustainability, in both the graduate and undergraduate categories. The M.Arch 2 program is specifically designed for students who are looking to focus their architectural education on contemporary tools, techniques, and technologies and to expand their experience in digital design, fabrication, and critical thinking.

M.ARCH 2 PROGRAM

Uniting the latest technology with an intrepid attitude toward architectural design, the program’s commitment to independent thinking, research, and innovation through its rigorous course of study serves as a transition for students from graduate school to professional practice.

COMPLEX MORPHOLOGY Annex to the Bibliotheque Sainte - Genevieve - Paris, The future site for the Annex for the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve Library is on the corner of Rue Valette and Place du Pantheon, which currently houses the Universite Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle. The site is about 75'x45' in footprint and 50' in height (5 stories), which is also the boundin`g box for the new Annex. We will assume that the building that is currently on this site will be demolished to make room for the new Annex, which will be a media library.

It was a combination of fast, medium and slow twitch like movements that propelled a mass generation machine, one that produced two forms at play with one another

ď&#x20AC;˛ď&#x20AC;°

This project draws its form and texture directly from the adjacent context utilizing a simple idea: the mural within the adjacent Pantheon is deployed on the surface as a weird-mosaic fragmentation

It was a combination of fast, medium and slow twitch like movements that propelled a mass generation machine, one that produced two forms at play with one another

Sandwiched within the original mass

Mass before receiving the cut

The More aggregated form

Sandwiched within the original mass

The larger mass received a slice and insertion of a second, more aggregated form, sandwiched within the original mass. Two forms joining instead of just one served to create a symbiosis, held in place that created a friction, which drove the tectonic

Mass with the main texture

ď&#x20AC;˛ď&#x20AC;ą

The two forms specifically drove this project and all of its pieces because the stability of one object was broken with a slice. The slice allowed for the addition of a second element that each of the tectonics were drawn from. As a result, the form was frankensteined together as one, with an object slipping yet gripping the other

The profile of the columns was generated from the geometry of the sandwiched mass, trickling down and extending the verticality of the surface textures.

The stability of the building was breaking by sliding of two objects. This helps to read the texture much better. We generated the columns and the windows from the same concept, always concerned with the harmony of the balance of the whole.

ď&#x20AC;˛ď&#x20AC;˛

The alternating bands of white and black help break the verticality of the columns, allowing the mass to elevate higher and columns to be taller. This helped to opens up the lobby space and light it up naturally without stretching or carving the masses, strengthening presence at the corner.

The windows were applied in two ways, either cutting into the existing geometries and in setting a plane to preserve the architecture, while another window type clings to the irregularities of the sandwiched geometry, punching into the surface with and rupturing the skin

Three different column types populate the lobby with familiar geometries that are speckled with the white and gold textures, framing the inner wall that extends the interior space outside, emphasizing transparency within the lobby.

FEDERAL COURTHOUSE Courthouse Architecture: Chronological Trends From the late 1800s until about the 1990s, it was commonplace of courthouse architecture to bear the classical marks of the courthouse typology. This type of courthouse is best characterized by widespread use of limestone [as in the 1940 United States Courthouse in Los Angeles] and the execution of axial symmetries and classical order [as in the New York States Supreme Court building}. With the exception of Mies Van der Rohe’s Federal Center, each of the pre-1990 courthouses bears a strikingly similar attitude of pronunciation of importance “in the name of justice” by virtue of a widespread use of stone and monumental, almost regal presence of the buildings’ facades. For these reasons, the courthouses pre-dating 1990 in the following precedent study can be characterized by the “courthouse-as-monument” typology. Instructor: Tom Wiscombe

ART MUSEUM This Project went through a process to create six masses that undergo linear cuts which gave a profile of the project. That helped to unite the masses. Also, these cuts play main role on the galleries form as we can see in the section. Thus, the process to create these six masses was dividing a Frank Stella to rectangles and squares (explicit forms). we made some extrusion to theses explicit forms which defined the sold and voids in the project. Then we applied surgically some cuts from the bottom. Instructor: Marcelo Spina

PILE BUILDING The pile building is an attempt to move beyond singularity of a typical tower typology. Thus, it is not an extruded form but pile of volumes. in addition, the pile building offers spontaneous discovery for ﬂoor plates, variation of programs and multiple cladding texture. Whereas a typical tower typology has a predictable identical ﬂoor plates which have the same program and cladding system. Through pile volumes in different direction we were able to differentiate and demonstrate different identities for different programs and dissimilar floor plates . However, by piling technique some floor plans programmatically integrated and it become a common area serves both programs. Moreover these volumes intersect with each others in an interesting way which create a new shapes that we refer to them as a solid mass and the rest is void. These solid and void accommodate galleries, library, hotel and a theater respectively. Cladding textures are following these programs gesture. So, each program has it is own materiality, again pile building moving beyond a singular cladding texture. Instructor: Florenci Pita | Peter Trummer



The model is an abstraction and more as a diagram that represent the program typology of the pile building. So, in the model the top glass part is a representation of gallery spaces, moving down to the marble part which represent the library following that the orange part which is the hotel and the last wood piece from the bottom is a retail. It is good to point out that these materials are suggesting for the cladding texture as well.

FAMILIAR FORM Charles Jencks argues that postmodern art, as distinct from modern art, is “double-coded”, meaning there is no single reading and no unified structure. Indeed, Ruhwald’s work lends itself to multiple readings, and it involves a variety of structural elements, all highly differentiated and conspicuously incommensurate, with no on dominating any other...It is impossible to reduce the works in this exhibition to a few simple, “essential” terms, more broadly, as Greenberg said, to their material medium. Greenberg insisted on speaking of “painterly abstraction” rather than “abstract expressionism”, for the latter called attention to the feelings the paint seemed to express and evoke rather than to the properties of the paint itself, made evident by the painter’s handling of it. (He famously dismissed the “spiritual” feelings aroused by Rembrandt’s paintings as an illusory byproduct of Rembrand’s brilliant manipulation of pigments Instructor: Florencia Pita

Construction Documents This course focuses on construction systems, building technology, the use of materials, and system integration. The course comprises a review of basic construction methods, analysis of building codes including occupancy and life-safety issues, the design of structural and mechanical systems, and the basic principles of sustainable design. Studio projects from the previous semester are developed, focusing on the detailed design of a zone of the building in terms of the resolution of its structural system and of a building envelope using three-dimensional modeling as well as drafting. Drawings at various scales are produced to introduce students to the language and standards of details, wall sections, and overall building representations, culminating in a comprehensive package of drawings. The course also introduces students to the basics of cost control including life-cycle costs. Students receive the Emerging Professional? Instructor: Herwig Baumgather

Architecture

and

the

metropolis The view of the metropolis forms the diverse views of the role of architecture in the postmodern planning of cities and the defining result of the planning efforts. Tafuri insists that there is no way to cut clearly out post-modernism periods that mark out the progression of architecture. In this regard, Tafuri emphasizes that architectural development is largely dependent on the idealization of the concept of metropolis or city capitalism. This aspect means that architectural development largely hinges on the idealization of capitalization. Tafuri, therefore, suggests that architecture in its clear-cut rules and geometrical laws and orderliness finds minimal space of operation regarding capitalist metropolis. In this regard, architecture ceases to exist whenever a call for following strict scientific and design concepts is followed but neglecting the rules that come with architecture necessitates the survival of the profession. Tafuri argues that the desire of architecture to maintain its solitary growth and integrity fails to uphold the profession and the field because the external forces emanating from ď&#x20AC;śď&#x20AC;´

the metropolis and the desire of the capitalist based stakeholders in the metropolis are too hard for the architectural trade. In this case, Tafuri identifies the metropolis as the general result of the effect of money that acts to rationalize the technical processes that guide the establishment of the metropolis and also objectify social relations that take the stage on the metropolis. The metropolis, therefore, comes out as a center of contention where the people and the objects existent in the metropolis largely exist in a state of confrontation to the metropolis. Tafuri identifies with the ideology that where the metropolis economy is considerably influenced by money, the sense of individuality ceases and becomes meaningless impression and matters that relate to quality, precision and particularity are largely scaled down. Tafuri is clear concerning the survival of the architectural profession. To Tafuri, there is a considerably large field of operation and growth if the architectural field is ready to abide by the guidelines stipulated by the capitalist metropolis system. Architecture can, therefore, manage to solve the conflict arising from internal subjective resistances

and the external structure based on total production by largely melting the ideology of architecture as a subject and integrating it largely in the metropolis hence achieving an object status. Tafuriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article goes a long way to trace the history of architectural development and the conflicting issues regarding the identity and the destructing nature of architecture in the face of the capitalist view of the city and the metropolis. Tafuri clearly defines the role of architecture in bringing into perspective the planning that was difficult to achieve when the metropolis was taken as an infinite jungle that did not need planning but artistic value addition. The main challenge that faced Europeans architectural work with regards to combining the planning aspect of the metropolis with the design and placement of architectural designs is overcome by the English through the separation of the planning aspect of the metropolis and the generation of artistic aspects of design. In this case, the architectural field becomes considerably less confrontational because of the chance is given to urban planning to implement the segmentation, pathway and routing together with linking up the different parts of the city. Architecture is

charged with the artistic, historical and dreaming role so as to fill up the spaces existent in the metropolis. Architecture thus acts a politicizing role that involves the continued invention of solutions that would fill the space designated by the urban planners. References Tafuri, M. (1969).

CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSE The Idea from this course to understand famous projects such as (Haystack Mountain School of crafts, Laurentian Library, Winston Guest House etc..) in an abstracted way by drawing them diagrammatically. However, The second half of this course was all about moving beyond the abstraction idea and start to think thoughtfully to find common relationship between these diagram and begin to find a logic chain that give you a clear picture to speculate your owen ideas as a diagram.

KING ABDULAZIZ UNIVERSITY About the architectural department: The Architecture Department was established in 1396 AH as part of the School of Environmental Design at the time. The importance of the department is represented in the increasing need for local designers to keep pace with the urban development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which reflects the physical, cultural and spiritual nature of society. The studios within the department are characterized by a diversity of intellectual trends that keep pace with the latest global trends. The scientific content of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courses has evolved in line with the changes in the labor market. In the year 1432 AH, he began to activate the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program in the department within the framework of encouraging graduate studies programs and making use of the available material and human resources and community service through applied research.
