Selected Works 2012-2015 This museum of ecology emphasizes symbiotic relationship between its program, structure, and form through experimentation with porosity. Initial studies of surrounding urban forces were used to degrade the existing site with porous intrusions which became void spaces. These void spaces were turned into topological structural elements which created a continuous relationship with the floorplates and envelope. A mixture of 24-hour accessible space and private exhibition space allows for the museum to have a level of flexibility which can change based on its different kinds of users. A series of structural studies inspired a panel-based facade system which allows for different levels of light in different areas through a gradient fenestration system.

Selected Works 2012-2015 En-Suite Orchard is a mixed-use housing, office, and commercial space which takes its inspiration from the farm-to-table method of minimizing the distance between residents and their food production. In this case, the food production takes the form of organic growth from fruit trees adjacent to each living unit. Food markets and restaurants in the lower level spaces also act as options to complement each unit’s individual production. The form of the tower was built up from light and shadow studies in the surrounding London region; the main growth areas are placed in abundant light spots, creating a continuous perimeter that defines the building as well as creating a secondary circulation space.

Selected Works 2012-2015 This complex of ecology labs and public spaces was designed in three coincidental parts: habitat, material, and form. The form studies began by creating a series of minimal surface iterations which could then be agglomerated to create habitable spaces. After an initial form was created, it was modified to become occupiable for humans, flora, and fauna. Studies into habitats of animals and plants in Turkey were applied to the forms created by the minimal surfaces to result in lab spaces and different scales of occupiable spaces for fauna to use. These spaces range from small burrow-like spaces for rodents and small animals to vast multi-story open spaces for aviary animals. Material studies were also undertaken to determine how to construct and populate the building; the fungal material mycelium became a key factor in cladding the exterior through an intricate panel system to bring a life cycle to the building replicating those in its interior. Different scales of spaces throughout the interior are epitomized by intricate vertical channels which allow for plant growth and habitation of various species.

A Fitter Philadelphia Philadelphia | 2013 Critic : Catherine Bonier

Selected Works 2012-2015 “A Fitter Philadelphia” aims to absolve the rising obesity and heart disease rates in the city through a fitness center which also offers educational classes, lectures and job opportunities. These different programmatic elements are linked through a central lounge where visitors can share their experiences and influence others to enhance their time there. The layout of the program follows extensive site studies which looked into the condition of the site’s surroundings as well as explorations into potential atmospheric conditions through graphic media. Paper folding iterations created the design of the exterior facade and roof over the large fitness center, which incorporates an aggregation of the elements to define the space and its lighting.

Kyle Ingber | PennDesign Graduation Pavilion
Selected Works 2012-2015
The inaugural PennDesign Graduation Pavilion is a student-led designbuild installation built on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus which opened to the public coinciding with the 2015 commencement. The design and construction process took place throughout the Spring 2015 semester. The process began with design charettes focused on different space-filling polyhedrons which could create an inhabitable space. The eleven-sided “sphenoid” hendecahedron was ultimately chosen and its form was to be supported by a wooden frame.
Sphenoid Components and Cluster Evolution
The structure was designed to accommodate the finalized sphenoid aggregation; the sphenoids were constructed from sheets of aluminum flashing. The structure was student-designed and constructed, and each aluminum sphenoid was put together by hand. Custom-made brackets were used to connect each unit to adjacent pieces as well as the structure. To adapt to the structure, over 150 custom pieces were constructed which had cut faces to meet the top of the wooden supports. The pavilion is set to remain on campus throughout Summer 2015.
