The idea of the creative corridor is to provoke change and to incorporate the new typology of a mediatheque into the fabrication of downtown Little Rock. The building stands at the corner of Markham and Main Streets creating an anchor for the corridor. The building is organized programmatically in a hierarchy of most public spaces at the bottom to most private at the top. The building pulls one from the street and pushes oneself through the building. Then, releases one back to the exterior on the roof terrace that overlooks the Arkansas River. The spaces are arranged around a central core that enables maximum views and structural support. The primary skin is floor to ceiling curtain walls, while the secondary skin is a structural tube steel diagrid. The steel diagrid pulls away from the primary allowing opportunity for exterior terraces.

warehouse Architectural Design Ix -- Design/Build Fifth Year Studio Instructor: Mark Wise The overall minimum effected square footage is approximately 1050 sq ft A design/build studio warehouse renovation located on the south side of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard between the avenues of Hill and Government. The ideal organization of program calls for the design and build spaces be adjacent to one another. this allows for an efficient work flow between both sections of the studio. The renovation is on the south side of the warehouse in the side isle within the structural bays.

Lyceum Competition Architectural Design vI -- 3rd Year Studio Instructors: Russell Rudzinski I Santiago Perez I Chuck Rotolo 20,000 square feet A net zero energy rest area located in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah engages a proposed land art installation entitled “Earth Curvature”. The rest area provides 5,000 square feet of space for “experience of place”. Additional spaces for engaging the specific context of the place include cafe, lodging and restrooms.

The Salt Flats Desert is an infinite illusion of depth that spans the horizon. The sun radiates across the expanse with only the darkness of night as relief. The Chiaroscuro building is a refuge for the body from the harsh landscape and welcomes oneself into a shaded and cool environment. The stark comparisons of conflicting dichotomies throughout the building, such as expansion and compression, sends oneself through an unique emotional experience. The building runs along the axis of the landart installation pulling the public into the space and pushing them back out towards the horizon on the East and West ends.

Bonneville Museum Architectural Design v -- 3rd Year Studio Instructors: Lynn Fitzpatrick I Santiago Perez I Russell Rudzinski Drive-by car museum and gatehouse located on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Western Utah. The primary purpose of the building is to receive visitors as they arrive in their vehicles, to shelter them from the sun while providing a memorable experience by displaying vehicles that have competed at the Bonneville Speedway. The project integrates the structural ideas of form, vertical support and enclosure into a cohesive three-dimensional whole.

Urban Mausoleum Architectural Design Iv -- 2nd Year Studio Instructors: David Buege I Jean Jaminet I korydon Smith 150,000 Square Feet A Public, urban, interfaith mausoleum and columbarium located on the Northwest corner of Illinois Street and State Street in Chicago, Illinois. The mausoleum emphasises organic movement and the delicate transition of the horizontal to the vertical. This is carried out by arraying the primitive around a central node and projecting it vertically forcing the mass to twist. Transformed primitives are pinched, folded, and pulled into the space where it punctures the central core of circulation and is released at the bottom and out onto the exterior. Both of these movements reveal articulations on the facade as well as create aperures at the top and bottom. The ornamental striations on the exterior emphasize verticality while expressing depth.

The building is separated into three parts: private, semi-private, and public. The loculi and niches are occupied within the curvature of the walls on the designated floors. The building’s structure is comprised around the circulation cores allowing the exterior to be laminated with EFTE panels.

The plan is organized around the notion of expansion and compression. The entrance is large and open, pulling one into the space. Upon entering the structure, the building compresses and releases oneself. The angular nature of the interior surface is embracing and offers a feeling of comfort. The space provides a feeling of tranquility while those same spaces house the loculi and niches of loved ones.

Visitor’s Center Architectural Design III -- 2nd Year Studio Instructors: David Buege I Jean Jaminet I Greg Herman I Lynn Fitzpatrick 5,000 square feet visitor’s center to Fay Jones’ Thorncrown Chapel located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The visitor’s center is designed as a gateway for a space of reflection. The building stimulates interest and interaction and communicates significant information. The visitor’s center investigates site fabric, examines building tectonics and explores architectural ideas of form and materiality.

Connecting Beyond Architectural Design II -- 1st Year Studio Instructors: Bradley Edwards I Naoto Sekiguchi Star gazing retreat for bankers located on an isthmus. The idea of mediating between ground, sky, horizon, civilization and wilderness. Retreat includes space to exchange ideas with others, space for individual reflection and meditation, and a place to initiate implementation of ideas.

The primary material used is black concrete. The conrete acts as a mediator between the arrival of civilization and the dispersal into the wilderness. The black concrete works as an absorber for passive solar heating. The high heat capacity of concrete allows for the storage of the solar energy. This enables a comfortable star gazing environment during the night hours.

Via Papalis
[ coliseum ]
Architectural Design vIII -- Rome Studio Instructors: Francesco Bedeschi I J.Scott Finn I Andrew Kranis I Giovanna Piga
[ basilica di santa maria maggiore ]
[ basilica di san giovanni in laterano ] The Via Papalis is one of Rome’s most significant urban pathways that was followed by every new elected pope linking the Basilica of St. John Lateran and St. Peter’s Basilica. Over the centuries, this processional tradition has greatly influenced the development of the city. The final sector of the Via Papalis begins along the southern edge of the Coliseum and travels on Via di San Giovanni in Laterano until terminating at the obelisk and Basilica of Saint John the Lateran.
54 // 64
Through thorough analysis of the Via Papalis and Saint John the Lateran a palimpsest of axial points and lines are derived. These axes create linear paths for movement and moments for pause. The mixture of hard and softscapes reintroduces the urban spaces in a contemporary language while directly correlating back to the Via Papalis and the surrounding monuments. Strips of grassy noles and concrete benches, with conservative variations in heights, implement moments of reflection while viewing back to the Basilica and obelisk.

Spatial Transition Architectural Design II -- 1st Year Studio Instructors: Bradley Edwards I Naoto Sekiguchi Study of the spatial transition between four varying ground elements. The conditions of the varying elements include below, in, on, and above the ground. The four elements are distinguished by wood framing with wrapping stairs that recycle you through the space.
